Nova Crnja

Nova Crnja, located in the north-eastern part of Banat along the border with Romania, is characterised by a rich cultural and historical heritage and unspoilt nature. The municipality comprises six settlements, with Srpska Crnja standing out in particular as the birthplace of the great Serbian poet and painter Đura Jakšić. His birthplace now houses a memorial museum, while the annual “Liparske večeri – Đurini dani” festival is held in his honour. Cultural heritage enthusiasts are drawn to Kaštel Castle, numerous Orthodox and Catholic churches, as well as the birthplaces of other notable figures from the area. The municipality’s natural attractions are complemented by the thermal springs in Srpska Crnja and the Koštanac hunting ground, one of the oldest in Serbia, surrounded by forests dating back as far as the 18th century. The Banat plain, rich traditions and multicultural character give the area a distinctive charm and authenticity. Nova Crnja is an ideal destination for anyone wishing to combine a relaxing stay in nature with discovering the cultural heritage and history of northern Banat.
