Foreword
Osijek has a well-earned reputation for being the most relaxing of Croatian cities. Its inhabitants are notoriously laid-back and welcoming, its city centre is full of parks, and the stickaround-a-while-longer quality of its cafes and restaurants stands as a warning to anyone who thinks that life is there to be hurried. Walking is a pleasure rather than a burden in a predominantly low-rise centre whose skyline is periodically punctured by some unusual architectural treat. And if youre not much of a walker, then dont forget that the flat nature of the terrain ensures that Osijek is very much a bicycle-lovers kind of place. It is also the only city outside Zagreb that has a tram network, with two lines that take you almost everywhere you need to go in the city centre.

Mario uur Osijek is also a major university town, providing a seemingly endless supply of young people who will decide what to do with the rest of their lives just as soon as theyve had a few more drinks. There are some excellent bars, pubs and clubs, with prices a fraction of what they are in Zagreb or on the Adriatic coast. The fact that the city centre comes in two parts Gornji Grad to the west and Tvra to the east gives a night on the town an extra flavour: on warm summer nights theres a constant stream of people flowing along the riverfront between the outdoor bars of Zimska luka and the pubs and clubs of the Tvra district a kilometre or so downstream. Osijek is very much the capital of the Croatian southeast, an up-and-coming tourism centre that is increasingly well celebrated for its distinctive local cuisine and boutique wineries. There are also signs that Osijek is beginning to punch its cultural weight: the Croatian National Theatre in Osijeks ground-breaking production of Unterstadt, staged in the open air during the Osijek Cultural Summer, won the best production in 2012s Teatr.hr awards; while Osijek-based design team Lega-Lega are becoming a major nationwide retailer of T-Shirts and stationery, opening shops in Dubrovnik and Zagreb.

The Regional Museum of Wine

In 2013 the city of Osijek is to gain its first Regional Museum of Wine, which will be right in Tvra, the old heart of the city! The regions of Slavonija and Baranja have four winegrowing areas, Baranja, Erdut, Ferianci and akovo, with a long tradition of producing high quality wines that are popular with locals and tourists alike. The aim of the Museum is to promote the region, its wine-making culture, its wine routes and the authentic food and drink of the region. Apart from this Museum, inland Croatia will be richer for four more museums, one for each of the famous Slavonian winemaking regions of Baranja, Erdut, Ferianci and akovo; each of which will have a space for wine-tasting, promotions and the sale of locallyproduced wines.

Something of a cult among the sweet-toothed side of the Osijek population, this perpetually young patisserie is the place to come for a scoop or two of delectable ice cream, or a close encounter with coffee and cakes.

(+385-31) 31 00 20, zupa@svpetaripavao.hr, www. svpetaripavao.hr. The multi-tiered 90-metre spire of this red-brick neo-Gothic beast provides the city with its defining visual trade-mark. The church was built in the 1890s on the initiative of energetic akovo-based Bishop Josip Juraj Strossmayer, who reckoned that a 3000-capacity parish church was just what a growing town like Osijek needed. The church is entered via a small door to the right of the main portal, overlooked by a ferocious-looking trio of gargoyles. The interior is a treasure trove of neo-gothic ornamentation, with a succession of pinnacled altars overlooked by exuberant stained glass windows. The interior was finished off in 1938-42 when leading Croatian painter Mirko Raki covered the walls and ceilings with brightly coloured frescoes illustrating episodes from the Old and New Testaments - most of which will be easily identifiable to anyone who paid attention during Bible class. Holy masses are held daily at 07:00 and 18:30 and on Sun at 06:30, 07:30, 08:30, 10:00, 11:30 and 18:30, July, August 18:30, Sun 06:30, 08:30, 10:00, 18:30. QOpen 06:30 - 19:00.
broad tree-lined boulevard that streaks eastwards from Gornji Grad towards Tvra is famed throughout Europe for harboring one of the best-preserved ensembles of Art Nouveau houses in this corner of the continent. Ranked side by side on the north side of the avenue (numbers 12 to 22), they were commissioned by filthy-rich industrialists and hot-shot lawyers in the years just before World War II. Wilim Karl Hofbauer, Ante Slaviek and Franz Wybird were the Osijek-based architects responsible for most of the work. Take a look at the twirlyhaired goddesses peering down from no.22, or the gargoylelike faces perusing passers-by from the faade of no. 12, to get an idea of the fanciful decorative tastes of the era. On the opposite side of the road, the main post office (built in 1912) on the corner of Europska Avenija and Kardinala Stepinca is an impressive example of the more functional, less frivolous architecture of the epoch. Museum of Slavonia (Muzej Slavonije) F-2, Trg Svetog Trojstva 6, Tvra, tel. (+385-31) 25 07 30, muzejslavonije@mso.hr, www.mso.hr. Housed in an eighteenthcentury mansion built for the town magistrate, the museum has a collection covering the period from prehistory to the present day, making this one of the most important museums in the country. Roman-era tombstones fill the ground-floor hallway. Several rooms of clocks, muskets and other oddities await inspection upstairs.

This all-embracing collection of Slavonian art contains something for everyone, kicking off with some imposing nineteenthcentury portraits of local aristocrats. Most striking of these is The Pejaevi Family in the Park (1811) by German society painter Friedrich Johann Lieder, which fills an entire wall and shows the landowning dynasty lolling around in front of one of their many stately homes. If you want to really impress the locals with your knowledge of nineteenth-century Slavonian painting, then Adolf Waldinger (1843-1904) is the name to drop. Son of an Osijek wine merchant, Waldinger won a place at the Academy of Fine Art in Vienna but failed to graduate, and struggled to earn money as an art teacher before dying penniless and largely forgotten. He's now considered one of Slavonia's greatest landscape painters - the moody, atmospheric canvases on display here help to explain why. Things get more steamy as the collection moves on to the early twentieth-century, when most local artists seemed bent on painting pictures of semi-naked ladies flouncing around in bedrooms. If you can bear to part company with these, a room or two of abstract works by contemporary painters brings things up to date. QOpen 10:00 - 18:00, Thu 10:00 - 20:00, Sat, Sun 10:00 - 13:00.

The River Drava is an essential part of Osijek's character and its difficult to see how the locals would survive without strolling along its southern bank at least a couple of times a week. Main focus of activity is the Zimska Luka (Winter Harbour), a row of boat moorings below the Hotel Osijek where you'll find a handful of floating restaurants, and a row of cubby-hole cafs which explode out onto the pavement in spring and summer. From here, pedestrians and cyclists glide eastwards along etalite Franje epera, the riverside embankment that leads past a sequence of flowerbeds and grassy parks. At the eastern end of the embankment, the sight of the red-brick Tvra fortress district rising out of the surrounding greenery is truly wondrous to behold.

The Kompa D-1. Looking not much more than a wooden platform with a hut-like cabin on top, Osijek's much-loved Kompa (ferry) transports foot passengers from Gornji Grad to the opposite bank of the Drava. It's a remarkably simple contraption, using the force of the river current as the main means of propulsion - the ferry is held by a chain to prevent it from simply floating off downriver. Popular with families making their way to Osijek zoo (see Parks), the Kompa shuttles back and forth whenever the komparo (captain) espies enough passengers to make the trip worthwhile. Open April 15 - October 09:00 - 21:00. Q Free of charge. Tvra F-2. An eighteenth-century complex of cobbled streets, grandiose buildings and open squares, Tvra (Citadel) is the best-preserved ensemble of Baroque buildings anywhere in Croatia. It began life in 1687, when Habsburg armies kicked Ottoman forces out of Osijek and decided to turn the town into the military nerve-centre of eastern Slavonia. Austrian engineers demolished most of the existing buildings, moved the city center westwards to today's Gornji Grad, and spent the next 35 years building a planned settlement comprising barracks, staff headquarters, churches and monasteries, all surrounded by a state-of-theart system of moats, bastions and gun positions. Most of the outer fortifications have long since been demolished, but the heart of the Tvra still survives in its original form.At the centre of Tvra is Trg svetog Trojstva (Holy Trinity Square), a broad traffic-free expanse dominated on the northern side by a monumental three-storey building that once housed the Habsburg high command. On the western side, the arcaded house with a spindly lookout tower originally accommodated Osijek's town guard. Stretching either side of the square is a grid-plan of streets, each lined with elegant ochre-colored buildings where Austrian bureaucrats once toiled over their military plans. A zig-zagging stretch of the outer fortifications still survives on the northeastern edge of Tvra. Head down the street Fakultetska to find the Water Gate (Vodena vrata), one of the last surviving fortress gates, which leads through to the grass-fringed banks of the River Drava.

The Franciscans spearheaded the renewal of Catholic life in Slavonia in the years following the Ottoman occupation, and built this fine monastery church to serve as their spiritual centre. The interior contains a wealth of Baroque and Rococo ornamentation, although it's the gothic statue of Our Lady of Osijek (Naa Gospa Osjeka), a rosy-cheeked Madonna cradling a plump Christ-Child, that draws most in the way of local pilgrims. The accompanying monastery was the site of a theology academy and, after 1735, Slavonia's first printing press. The reformist Habsburg Emperor Joseph II kicked the Franciscans out of Osijek in 1783, and they had to wait until 1938 to get their property back. To visit the church you should just ring to the door of the monastery and it will be opened for you. Holy masses are held daily at 07:00 and 18:00, on Sun at 07:00, 09:00 and 18:00. Q Open 30 minutes before the mass and by prior arrangement.

Pejaevi fountain (Pejaeviev zdenac) E-2, Drava riverfront. This decidedly odd Art-Nouveau-esque object was built by Count Pavle Pejaevi in 1903 to beautify the city's riverfront. Four chunky pillars, each sprouting ornate ironwork swirls, support a central canopy that looks like a magician's hat. Sadly the fountain is no longer in function, but the surviving structure is a fitting tribute to the prosperous, forward-looking Osijek of the pre-World War I era.
Architecture
Europa Cinema E-2, etalite Petra Preradovia 2. It may look like a graceless pile of red bricks at first sight, but this cubist construction of 1930s-vintage is much treasured by local architecture buffs, who hail it as an outstanding example of modern architecture. If you like straight-line minimalism, Europa will have you gibbering with delight. The cinema has been closed since June 2011. Urania Cinema E-2, etalite V.Hengla 1, tel. (+38531) 21 15 60. The Urania was designed by Viktor Arman in 1912 and quickly became a much-discussed local landmark. Comprising a sensuous curvy roof and a vertical-striped faade, it looks like a huge church organ let loose on the city streets. A peach-colored paint-job (the result of recent renovations) only adds to the unsettling effect.The cinema has been closed since October 2011.

Citadela dio osjeke Tvre, Marin Topi (autor fotografije)
DRAVskI NAsIP Rijeka Drava je neraskidiv dio Osijeka, ona mu daje posebnu dra. teta bi bilo ne proetati du nasipa, ne provozati se biciklistikim stazama, ne pridruiti se ribiima, ili se za ljetnih dana osvjeiti na kupalitu. Zimska luka s restoranima i klubovima na vodi, ispijanje kave s pogledom na rijeku, sve je to ona dodana vrijednost to je Drava daje Osijeku. A tu je i nezaobilazna Kompa i njen komparo, splav koja prebacuje putnike s obale kod Solarskog trga na drugu stranu Drave, do Tvravice i Zoolokog vrta. Splav je privezana za elino ue koje povezuje stupove na dvije obale i nosi je rijena struja. Vozila je od 1916. do 1932. godine, kada je ukinuta i zamijenjena amcima. Nakon Drugoga svjetskog rata, od 1948. godine ponovno svakodnevno prevozi putnike, od travnja do studenoga, besplatno od 09:00 do 21:00. EuROPskA AVENIJA Ova iroka avenija to povezuje Gornji grad i Tvru znana je po jednom od najbolje ouvanih nizova secesijskih kua u ovom dijelu Europe. Kue su do pred Drugi svjetski rat uglavnom bile u vlasnitvu bogatih industrijalaca i uglednih graana i pruaju izvrstan uvid u arhitekturu privatnih kua toga razdoblja.

TVRA Neazaobilazan dio Osijeka je Tvra. Sa svojim kompleksom ulica, trgova i zgrada iz 18. stoljea, Tvra je najuuvaniji primjer barokne gradnje u Hrvatskoj. Austrijska vojska poela ju je graditi 1712. godine kao gradtvravu po uzoru na nizozemske vojne utvrde i kao dio kompleksa utvrenih gradova na granici s otomanskim carstvom. Do 1722. godine je veim dijelom bila zavrena, a manje intervencije obavljale su se sve do 60ih godina 19. stoljea. Bila je okruena jarcima, zidinama sa 4 vrata, bastionima i straarnicama. U sreditu Tvre nalazi se glavni trg, Trg Svetog Trojstva, kojim danas dominira zgrada Glavne

Povijest kipa bila je burna. U Osijek je stigao iz mjesta Jud, i to samo na uvanje. No, kako je vrijeme prolazilo, dogaala su se mnoga udesa koja se vezuju uz kip, uda toliko velika da kip postaje Gospa Osjeka i ostaje u Osijeku.

Crkva je izgraena 1890-ih na inicijativu biskupa Josipa Jurja Strossmayera koji ju je i posvetio 1900. godine. Unutranjost je vrlo koloristiki oslikao slikar Mirko Raki, radei na tome etiri godine, prekrivi zidove i stropove slikama iz Staroga i Novog zavjeta. Crkvu krasi i 40 vitraja izraenih u bekoj tvornici Gold. Do 2008. godine bila je to samo upna crkva, uspostavom akovako-osjeke nadbiskupije postala je konkatedrala, no u Osijeku su je uvijek zvali katedralom.

BElJE VINskE PODRuME,
wHAt to see
F-2, Trg Svetog Trojstva. Standing at the centre of Tvra's Austrianate main square is the so-called Plague Column (Zavjetni stup), a curious Baroque pillar topped by a swarm of cherubic angels borne on billowing clouds. It was erected in 1729 by the widow of Habsburg General Petraschi to give thanks for the garrison's deliverance from an outbreak of plague. (It obviously didn't do much good: plague returned to the city at regular intervals throughout the 1740s). The cloak-shrouded statues at the base, added in 1784, depict saints Sebastian, Rocco, Rosalia and Catherine. The bridge of youth (Most Mladosti) E-2. This pedestrian hanging bridge (Visei most) over the Drava river was built in 1979. Well designed and modern in stature, it has become one of the symbols of Osijek. You'll find it in most postcards and photos that reflect this lovely town. It's worth the look. The Red Fio F-3. The Red Fio Art Installation - the image of the JNA (Jugoslav National Army) tank crushing a small red fio car had travelled around the world and became one of the most recognisable symbols of the Homeland War. Exactly 20 years later, and in celebration of the Day devoted to defenders of the city of Osijek, an installation in the memory of that fio was revealed. It is located at the crossroad of Vukovarska Street and Trpimirova Street and it symbolically portrays Croatia's victory over the JNA. How, one may ask? Well ironically, in this instance, it is the fio which is crushing the JNA tank carrying the date June 27 1991 on its plates. A date which became a part of history. The Walker (eta) E-2, Trg slobode. One of Osijek's most popular landmarks is definitely The Walker', a statue of the Croatian writer August Cesarec captured walking in motion. The name of the artist who made it was Stjepan Graan and the statue is located behind the Monument to the Defenders at Trg Slobode ( Liberation Square). As an added novelty and thanks to some great foresight by Tomislav Levak, the Walker has now been put on traffic lights in the city centre (one day it will be on all traffic lights throughout the town) and has replaced the standard every day image that we see in all other Croatian cities, thus making Osijek unique.

City tours
Tourist Tram (Turistiki tramvaj) Visitors can catch
a glimpse of the current Osijek in an old-fashioned mode of transport, namely the electric tram that made its first trips through the city way back in 1926. It only drives if booked, can be rented by both individuals and groups and can take up to 30 - 40 people, the renting price is 1000kn + VAT for a one hour ride.
Permanent exhibition of Water Life F-2, Svodovi

The Gloria Maris Association will entice you to ponder about not only the underworld but the universe. The visuals are splendid but the informed guides will truly educate you about questions you'd never considered before. Learn how pearls are made, how sea shells hum and much more. At the exhibition you can see the fossil remains of the Pannonia Sea, ancient mussels of the Drava and Dunav River, Kopaki rit, the Adriatic Sea and other world seas and oceans. Put 2 hours aside and if you pre-book, English guides are available. Q Open 10:00 - 16:00, Thu 10:00 - 20:00, Sat, Sun 10:00 - 13:00. Closed Mon. Admission 10 - 20kn.
Parks
P.Kreimira IV) F-2. Roughly opposite the main entrance to the Tvra district, this neatly manicured stretch of greenery is home to one of Osijek's best loved monuments. Illuminated by spotlights at night, the life-size Dying Soldier by sculptor Robert Frange-Mihanovi (1872 - 1940) valiantly brandishes a rifle as his feet buckle beneath him. Intended to commemorate the dead of World War I, it now serves as a memorial to all those who have laid down their lives for the motherland.
F-2. Laid out in the eighteenth century to provide a pleasant strolling area for Habsburg officers and their ladies, this large expanse of meadow and deciduous trees fills the gap between the Tvra and Gornji Grad districts. Popular with pram-pushing parents and a wide variety of human-canine partnerships. Zoological garden (Zooloki vrt) D-1, Sjevernodravska obala 1, tel. (+385-31) 28 52 34, www.zoo-osijek.hr. The emblem of Osijek zoo is a running cheetah and you will indeed find a pair of these lean spotty cats lurking somewhere in the middle of this riverside complex - although given the size of their cage they're unlikely to be doing much running. Elsewhere zebras, raccoons, emus and other animals await inspection, and there's an aquarium section full of scary reptiles. Q Open 09:00 - 16:00. From May - October Open 09:00 -19:00. Admission 10 - 20kn.

Museums
32. Osijek has been settled since the Stone Age, when waves of various Central European tribes ebbed and flowed across the plains. Celts, Romans, Croats, Avars, Goths, Hungarians, Austrians, Germans, Slovaks and Serbs have left their traces in the area. In 2007, artifacts from around the region found a new home, diagonally across the Holy Trinity Square from the Museum of Slavonija, in the renovated City Guardhouse and an adjacent house. The Archeological Museum Osijek opened in the fall with a small exhibit in the first three rooms and a display of larger Roman stone artifacts under a glass dome in a lovely arcaded courtyard. Especially interesting is a Celtic helmet that was probably tossed into the Sava during the 1st Century B.C. near Slavonski Brod and recovered during a period when the water level was low. Renovations were completed in March of 2009 and the permanent exhibition, which covers the period from the 5th to the 16th century in now open.

getting Around
Public transport
Osijek offers you two possibilities to get around town: buses and trams. They both operate from 05:00 till 23:00 or midnight, except the tram line that connects Vinjevac and Zeleno Polje on Saturday nights, on which you can catch a night ride every half hour. Two options are available for purchasing tickets. One is paper ticket that can be bought from a driver at a cost of 10 kn, the ticket is valid for 45 minutes from the moment it is stamped. The second option is the so called electronic ticket butra, it can also be bought from a driver or at any Tisak news stand, as well as at the GPP shops on Cara Hadrijana Street 1, and at the Ante Starevi Square (underground). When you buy it for the first time it will cost 40kn and has 20kn worth of credit. Whilst entering and leaving the vehicle, you need to scan it at a machine and during a 40 minute ride on a tram or bus it will take 8kn off the account. Once you have used all the credits, you can recharge it with a driver or at a news stand. Those caught without a ticket or not having scanned a ticket will be charged 250kn. GPP Osijek, Cara Hadrijana 1, tel. (+385-31) 22 83 00 / 22 83 33 www. gpp-osijek.com, Traffic info tel. (+385-31) 20 60 32. Buses The biggest bus stop for local transport is at the Gajev trg, where you can catch a ride to all destinations in town. Trams Osijek beat its larger European counterparts Budapest and Vienna to the punch in developing a tram service, a fact that many Osijek locals will be proud to let you know should you mention their tram service. There are two tram lines: one connecting Vinjevac and Zeleno Polje, and the other one Trg Ante Starevia and Bikara. The trams are quite modern and, if you happen to be an Osijek local that knows the names of the stops, a friendly mechanical voice will cheerfully announce the name of your stop. If youre a tourist, you might be a bit peeved to learn that the names of the stops are not marked on the sign at most stops.

There are 3 zones indicated by signs on the side of the street: zone 1 (red), 4 kn/h, zone 2 (yellow), 3 kn/h and zone 3 (grey), 2 kn/h. You get a ticket at the box under the parking sign or use your mobile phone to pay by sending a message with your registration number (no gaps) to the number shown on the box (remember to include the international dialing code if youre using a foreign mobile). A few minutes before your hour of paid parking runs out, youll get a message to remind you to refresh your lease of the space or move your car. If you dont put the ticket in the car window, or youre late, youll be charged a day ticket costing 46kn in zone 3, 59kn in zone 2 and 72kn in zone 1.

Biking
After settling all the other transportation issues like bus, train and car arrangements, there is one more option you should consider: seeing the city of Osijek by renting a bike, then heading out for a longer adventure on bicycle trails that allow you to explore the area surrounding the city til your hearts content. There are a few international bike routes in the area that offer you the chance to see a load of cultural sights and meet interesting people along the way . The Pannonian Peace Route is an 80-kilometer ride from Osijek to Sombor that was sponsored by Green Osijek, an association for nature and environment protection (Zeleni Osijek, www.zeleni-osijek.hr, www.zlatna-greda.org). The path runs right along the Danube and takes you through the Kopaki Rit and Gornje Podunavlje nature reserves. Another popular option is the Danube Route, a part of the route that goes along Danube from its source in Germany to the Black Sea. It runs through the easternmost parts of Croatia and along the borders with Serbia and Hungary and leads you through a diverse landscape right up to the border with Bosnia and Herzegovina. The guide was published by the NGO Moj bicikl, www.mojbicikl.hr. The same NGO also published the Drava Route, part of the Iron Curtain Trail. For sure, you have a lot to choose from and definitely some great landscapes to enjoy. Fishing Competition event in the summer of 2006. Kopaki Rit, the natural gem of the surrounding area, also offers fishing opportunities. A large part of the park has been turned into a nature reserve, but there are areas that are under less strict supervision and the fish are fair game (provided you have the proper licenses and permits!). There are over 40 species of fish swimming the waters of Kopaki Rit, including pike, tench, bream, carp, catfish, pike-perch and perch. Information about fishing and hunting is available at the Kopaki Rit tourist office or online at www. kopacki-rit.com. H/I-2, Donjodravska obala 8, tel.

Hunting
Citizens of Osijek, as well as visitors to the city, have the luxury of enjoying its prime geographical location. The city reaps the benefits of close proximity to two major rivers, the Drava and the Danube. Also, one of Osijek's most important neighbors is the Kopaki Rit Nature Park, a wonderland of plant and animal life that just begs to be explored by nature lovers. In fact, all of Osijek-Baranja County possesses a wealth of untouched nature that makes for per fect daytrips. Sportsmen also love the area as it offers a host of fishing and hunting opportunities, from hunting birds and angling to deer hunting. There are 83 official hunting sites maintained by several hunting associations, all of which combine to form the Hunting Union of Osijek-Baranja County. In addition to these locations, there are also 14 state-sponsored hunting areas. The county enjoys a rich hunting tradition and a wide array of game exists in the area for the able hunter. Big game like wild boar, deer and roe deer abound, along with smaller game like pheasant, quail, partridge and a wide variety of other birds. Throughout the hunting areas, there are cozy hunting lodges to which you can repair to plan your strategy or sample some local cooking before setting out again in the quest to bag some game. Need some further motivation? In 2001, a lucky hunter scored a trophy roe-buck in the Staro Petrovo Selo area. In order to start stalking your prey, you need to complete a safety course and then obtain a hunting license.

Designer Goodies Made in Osijek
Beer, matches and soap used to count among Osijeks most famous exports. Nowadays the Slavonian city is more widely associated with cool design, thanks in large part to the Lega-Lega label, a range of cute, zany and cleverly packaged accessories and stationery that successfully unites quirky subculture with commercial acumen. The label name is in itself a reference to local street culture lega (short for colleague) is a specifically Osijek form of greeting, meaning something like hi there! or whats up? Lega-Lega is the brainchild of design studio MIT, a group of local creatives who discovered that they had more bright ideas than they knew what to do with and simply decided to go into production with the best of them. At the end of 2006 MIT made a set of exclusive triangular-based teacups packaged in a matt black box as a special gift for some of their best clients, and were so pleased with the results that they decided to extend their activities into the commercial mainstream. They started producing own-design T-shirts printed with an imaginative selection of quirky designs and messages, and a range of stationery (notebooks, diaries and so on) sporting an attractive selection of printed, textured jackets. The brand became nationally visible in 2009, when Lega-Lega started selling their products in the Profil chain of multimedia stores. The T-Shirts were
packaged in milk-carton tetra-packs, a brilliant stroke of marketing inspiration that conveyed the idea of freshness and caught the public imagination at the same time. Lega-Lega supplied a fridge to each Profil store so that the T-shirts could be stacked in the manner of chilled groceries. Recent additions to the range have included Legi baby bibs and baby grows, and ankle straps for cyclists. The team behind Lega-Lega are committed cycling enthusiasts an d are amon g th e key supporters of the Pannonian Challenge - an extreme cycling fes ti val tha t brin gs together all kinds of a l t e r n a t i ve - c u l t u r e tribes: skaters, rollerbladers and BMX bikers included. Lega-Lega have also helped to breathe new life into the normall y sedate world of th e drinks coaster, adorning them with the kind of witty graphic designs that owe a lot to the world of alternative comics and graffiti art. One of the best-selling coaster sets featured the Japanac (Japanese Guy), a surfing cartoon figure with a mane of flaming hair - profits from the limited-edition set were donated to the Red Cross aid fund for the Japanese tsunami of 2011. Lega-Lega have picked up international awards for their designs and have also become an increasingly visible presence on the Croatian high street, opening stores in Dubrovnik and Zagreb in 2012. Their home base remains in Osijek, where the much-visited Lega-Lega shop occupies the ground floor of a three-storey hothouse of innovation that also includes MITs offices and meeting rooms.The Lega-Lega shop is at upanijska 25 (www.lega-lega.com)

Pudarina
Gaji Pudarina is the old name for the custom of keeping grapes in fermentation between the Feast of the Assumption and Nativity of Virgin Mary. Would you believe that this custom with a holy touch holds many interesting events such as flirtation between girls and boys? Around the Assumption, girls would usually be accompanied by older women and would go to the cellar in the village of Gaji. During the day, their singing and cheerful yelling would drive away all the animals that were intent on eating ripe grapes, whilst the rest of the time was dedicated to embroidery. In the evenings, boys would join the girls who had waited for them the entire day and together with pipes playing and singing, new loves were born.

Baranja
Some travellers frequently make the mistake of assuming that a predominantly flat landscape is a predominantly boring landscape. As if you need a horizon-splicing selection of hills and mountains in order to make a place worth visiting at all. The Croatian Baranja, which stretches to the north of Osijek, is the ideal place to come and challenge these preconceptions. A green triangle of flatland set between the Danube, the Sava River, and the Hungarian border, the Baranja is filled with unspoiled villages and natural charms, and when it comes to rural tourism is one of Croatia's fastest growing areas. As a treasure-box of distinctive paprikaspiced recipes and increasingly excellent wines, the Baranja is also becoming a byword for gastronomic excellence. Spread out across the Baranja plain are a sequence of characteristically long and straggling villages, consisting largely of one-storey houses with colonnaded porches garlanded with drying red peppers. There is a significant Hungarian minority in the villages north of Osijek, and most of the road signs are bi-lingual: Hungarian national poet Sandor Petfi appears to have more streets named after him than anyone else hereabouts. And if you think that the name of a town like Kneevi Vinogradi is difficult to pronounce, then try and get a hold on its Hungarian version, Herczegszlls. Many of the villages of the Baranja have a Protestant as well as a Catholic church, a reminder of the time when Calvinism was strong among the Hungarianspeaking peasantry. Baranja is a major heartland of the paprika-laden cuisine that is common to Eastern Croatia and neighbouring Hungary, with dishes like obanac, paprika and perkelt (hot red stews that in English-speaking countries might be grouped under the generic name of goulash) appearing on the menus of everything from fancy restaurants to roadside bistros. One of the region's main sources of culinary wealth is the rich stock of freshwater fish provided by the Danube and Drava rivers, and it is catfish, pike perch and carp and that form the ideal ingredients for the local speciality fi paprika, a soupy paprika-laden stew featuring huge chunks of (usually un-boned) fish swimming around in spicy red liquid. Dishes like fi paprika and its slightly thicker cousin perkelt are usually served with pasta noodles, and most establishments provide diners with a bib to prevent the (otherwise inevitable) embarrassment of coming away with red blotches all over their shirts. Indeed the Baranja's goulash repertoire is so good nowadays that culinary tourists from Hungary frequently cross the border to taste it. One of the prime gourmet destinations is Suza, east of Kneevi Vinogradi, a typical Baranja village in which locals sit on benches watching the world go by and gossiping in Hungarian, occasionally uttering a friendly dobar dan when a stranger walks by. At the western end of the village is an inn named Piro izma (Hungarian for red boots), run by a part-local part-Italian family who do an excellent line in Baranja-meets-Mediterranean cuisine. At the eastern end of the village is Kova arda (Kova's Tavern), an increasingly popular destination for culinary pilgrims eager to try some of the highest-regarded fi
paprika in Croatia. The Kova family has a fish pond just up the road, ensuring that their fare is fresh. Kova arda's dining room walls are covered with framed prize-winning diplomas from major paprika-cooking contests, notably from Kalocsa, the red-pepper capital of southern Hungary. Both Suza and the neighbouring village of Zmajevac hug the southern slopes of the Banska kosa, a long low ridge covered with some of the most productive vineyards in Eastern Croatia. Long famed for its dry white Graevina (known elsewhere as Welschriesling), the Banska kosa is increasingly home to a new generation of boutique wineries eager to both introduce grape varieties new to the region and to increase the quality of what is already there. The Baranja's biggest wine producer is Belje, who produce over 7 million litres of wine in the good years. Their wine cellars in Kneevi Vinogradi, complete with large wine-tasting hall, is perfect for visits by groups. Their two storey wine cellar, dating from 1526, is one of the oldest surviving cellars in Croatia. Belje also manage the Kormoran restaurant in the Kopaki rit Nature Park, famous for serving the local delicacy of carp toasted over an open fire. The new generation of Baranja wine producers is exemplified by the Josi winery in Zmajevac, founded relatively recently by the Osijek-based wine enthusiast Damir Josi. I always loved the Baranja and it was an easy decision, Josi explains. I bought a small vineyard and a cellar, and got started. New technology made it possible for small wineries like Josi to focus on quality production in an economically viable way. Producing good-quality Graevina, the predominant local grape variety, was Josi's main aim. However he soon got interested in trying out imported varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Shiraz. His cuvee Ciconia Nigra (Black Stork), blending Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Franc, is a high-quality wine that is not too expensive, and has helped to make Josi's name in Croatian winemaking circles. I always thought the potential for red wine was enormous, Josi continues. In 2007 we made our first really successful cuvee and I immediately realized that Baranja was the ideal place for these red varieties. The winery currently produces about 150,000 litres of wine a year - quite small in global terms but highly regarded among those who know their tipple. They also make their own aromatizirano vino or vermouth, a blend of red wine and herbs that tastes a bit like a cross between Port and Jgermeister. Josi remains keen to experiment: Each new harvest is like a new school term. We've only been in this business a little over twelve years, which in wine-making terms is about equal to learning to walk. Josi was also far-sighted enough to combine his winemaking business with a restaurant, thereby bringing together the main elements that Baranja-bound tourists are here to sample. Housed in one of the surduks, or wine-storing tunnels cut into the sandy soil of the Banska kosa ridge, the restaurant is big enough to cater for the coach parties that frequently crawl their way up here and atmospheric enough to keep small groups and couples happy too. The restaurant has picked up something of a reputation for presenting the best in local cuisine but with
2013

a touch of culinary style and experimentation. Fish is the most important local ingredient, but poultry and game are also important. The menu is based on doing something creative with what is autochthonous and traditional. East of Zmajevac the Banska kosa ridge comes to an abrupt halt when it meets the river Danube, which today marks the border between Croatia and the Serbian province of Vojvodina. The town of Batina on the Croatian bank of the Danube is dominated to a huge memorial to the dead of World War II. Grouped around the sculptor Antun Augustini's female allegory of victory mounted on a gargantuan pillar, the monument was built to commemorate the day in November 1944 when the Soviet Red Army and their Yugoslav Partizan allies crossed the river, incurring heavy losses as they went. Batina is also the home town of the Kazali winery, another quality producer known for both classic reds like Cabernet Sauvignon and traditional local whites such as Graevina and Traminac. Another of Baranja's hit destinations is Karanac, a typical one-street village northwest of Kneevi Vinogradi with a more generous than usual sprinkling of traditional onestorey houses. One of Karanac's traditional farmsteads was purchased by Osijek-based tourism pioneer Denis Sklepi in 1998, who renovated it and transformed it into one of the first rural-style B&Bs in the region. Up the road from Sklepi's place, the Baranjska kua restaurant doesn't just serve up some of the best in EastCroatian cuisine, but also houses a private ethnographic collection, stuffed with domestic implements and craft tools assembled over the years by the restaurant's owner. The fact that the Baranja has emerged as one of Croatia's most talked-about rural destinations has not come as a total surprise to the locals, who always knew that a seductive local brand could be fashioned on the basis of local wine and food. If someone had asked me ten years ago what tourism in the Baranja was going to look like in 2013, then my answer would have been something like this, Damir Josi concludes, gesturing towards his restaurant slowly filling up with diners who have just been on a wine-tasting tour of the barrel-vaulted cellars right next door.
Horses
81 32 86, fax (+385-31) 82 25 30, lipicanac@ergeladjakovo.hr, www.ergela-djakovo.hr. While you are in Osijek you should also visit akovo and explore the history of the world-renowned Lipizzaner horses who make their home in the region. With their muscular, Baroque build and elegant features, Lipizzaners are beautiful to behold and watching them move is a spectacular sight. Usually thought of as white horses, they are actually born dark and have dark skin, but their coats turn lighter every year until the hair turns snowy white as the horses reach adulthood. Lipizzaner horses an important facet of Croatia's cultural heritage. Lipizzaner horse teams can be seen at cultural events throughout eastern Croatia, including akovaki vezovi, a folklore festival of the regions of Slavonia and Baranja that takes place every July in akovo and is a showcase of traditional folk costumes, dancing and singing groups, and local customs. Visitors are welcome to the stud. Please call in advance if you would like a guided tour. Q Open 07:00 - 17:00, Sat and Sun on request. Price is 10 - 20kn for individual visits, the sightseeing includes two locations of the akovo paddock / stud farm (Pastuharna and Ivandvor) without a tour guide. These visits don't have to be announced in advance. For organized tourist tours (groups), there is a guided tour at the price of 20 - 30kn with an obligatory announcement and booking.

Kopaki rit
fax (+385-31) 75 23 21, prijemni.centar@kopackirit.hr, www.kopacki-rit.hr. Just 10km northeast of Osijek, Kopaki rit is one of the largest areas of wetland in Europe, and is something of a paradise for wading birds and their admirers. Declared a Nature Reserve (park prirode) in 1976, this 23000-hectare expanse of lakes, reeds, woodland and pasture is criss-crossed by dyketop roads,making it easilyaccessible to the day-tripper. The main entrance to the Reserve is at the Visitors' Centre (Prijemni centar), a traditional-style thatched hut just north of the village of Kopaevo, where you pay an entrance fee and receive an English-language information leaflet. The park is easy to get to: if you're driving, head north from Osijek as far as the village of Bilje, turn right at the main crossroads, and follow the signs to Park prirode Kopaki rit. There's a cycle path running alongside the Osijek-Bilje road, making it a pleasant two-wheel jaunt. Those with no wheels whatsoever will have to content themselves with catching an Osijek-Bilje bus (every 30-50 min from Vukovarska cesta) and walking the remaining 4km to the Visitors' Centre. Once beyond the Visitors' Centre you're free to explore the Reserve on your own, proceeding along the eastbound dyke for 2km before arriving at the shores of Lake Sakada, site of a partially sunken forest where you're likely to spot cormorants and herons. From here you really need a car to get the best out of the place. About 8km north of Lake Sakada are the oak forests of Tikve, thronging with wild boar, deer, and secretive black storks. In the middle of the forest is the palatial, red-brick Tikve Hunting Lodge (Dvorac Tikve), built for Archduke Franz Ferdinand in the nineteenth century, taken over by the Serbian royal family after World War I, and subsequently used by communist leader Josip Broz Tito. Perhaps appropriately for a location long associated with spraying the local fauna with gunshot, Tikve now hosts conservation-oriented seminars organized by the European Environmental Centre
Kopaki Rit Nature Park (Park prirode Kopaki rit) Titov dvorac 1, Lug, tel. (+385-31) 75 23 20,

(Europski centar za okoli). The area west of Tikve is largely taken up with meadowland and commercial fish-breeding ponds. Returning towards the Visitor's Centre this way you'll pass the Kormoran restaurant, famous for carp roasted on a stick. The restaurant has got a lovely rustic interior, although it can get packed with coach parties at times. By far the best way to see the park is to take a boat trip or opt for a jeep tour with a local guide. It's important to ring the visitor's centre to enquire about these in advance rather than just turning up on spec - the boat trips in particular don't depart at a regular time every day of the week. The boat trip on Orao I (Eagle One) goes along Lake Sakada along the onakut canal to Lake Kopako. Along the route you'll see sunken forests of white willow, crowded in spring with cormorants and geese and in autumn with migrating ducks. Heading back to Osijek via Bilje you can't fail to notice the handsome ochre palace at the eastern end of Bilje village, built at the end of the 17th century to serve as a hunting lodge for the greatest of the Austrian army's commanders, Prince Eugene of Savoy. The palace is now occupied by the administration offices of the Kopaki rit Nature Reserve, but you're free to stroll through the main gate and admire the beautifully proportioned courtyard. Q Open 09:00 - 17:00. May - September 31 Open 09:00 20:00. Admission 10kn. Guided tours 50 - 70kn per person. Guided tours for more then 25 people 50 - 65kn per person
of the late seventeenth century. The Palace, built in 1812 and modified half a century later, is probably the best-preserved aristocratic seat in Slavonia, and the only one which is regularly open to the public. Inside, a grandiose double staircase curves its way up to the first-floor Regional Museum, a large part of which is devoted to Dora Pejaevi (1885-1923), Croatia's first female composer. Dora's grand piano takes centre stage, surrounded by sepia family photographs, and a milky marble bust of a veiled female corpse that the moody composer kept in her room. The museum curator will gladly play a tape of Pejaevi's works as you look round (and there are CDs for sale should you like what you hear). Two other talented locals who get whole rooms to themselves are sculptor Hinko Juhn (18911940), represented here by some sensuous female nudes, and Izidor Krnjavi (1845-1927), a painter and art critic who had a profound influence on the Zagreb art scene in the years prior to World War I. Watch out for Vlaho Bukovac's striking portrait of Krnjavi, dressed up in striking orangey-red tunic and coat. Open 08:00 - 18:00, Mon, Fri 08:00 - 15:00, Sat 09:00 - 12:00. Closed Sun. July - August 31 Open 08:00 - 14:00, Sat 09:00 - 12:00. Closed Sun. Admission 10 - 15kn.
Palaces
Mailath Palace (Dvorac Mailath) Donji Miholjac.
Thirty kilometers northwest of Valpovo, on an ox-bow spur of the River Drava, Donji Miholjac is a town which fell under the sway of the Hilleprand von Prandaus in the eighteenth-century. Ana Hilleprand von Prandau built a long, single-storey arcaded pied--terre in the center of town in 1818, inherited 70 years later by Mailath von Szkhely, when the male Hilleprand von Prandau line came to an end. Mailath von Szkhely's enlargement of the palace with the frivolous addition of mock-Tudor turrets and medievalchateau towers, makes Donji Miholjac one of the most eccentric country houses in this part of Europe. There's no museum in the palace, but the overgrown neighboring park provides a good opportunity to stretch your legs.

Tumana 5, Naice, tel. (+385-31) 61 34 14, www.zmn. hr. Located 50km northwest of Osijek on the road to Virovitica, Naice is the kind of peaceful one-street town that you'll find all over Slavonia. Slap bang in the middle of town is the Pejaevi Palace (Dvorac Pejaevi), a deliciously custardcoloured structure framed by a splendid pair of bulbous green towers. The palace gets its name from the Pejaevi family, granted ownership of the town in 1732 in reward for their services to the Habsburg court during the anti-Ottoman wars
Normann) Valpovo. Heading northeast from Naice brings you swiftly to Valpovo, a market town which grew up around the medieval castle of the Morovi clan. The castle was strengthened by the Ottoman Turks, who left the red-brick, horseshoe-shaped fortifications in pretty good condition when they were ridden out of town by the Austrians in 1687. In 1721 the Habsburg court awarded the town to the Tyrolean family of Hilleprand von Prandau, who governed Valpovo as absentee landlords until Josip Ignatz Hilleprand von Prandau (1749-1816) decided to abandon the hurly-burly of Viennese life and settled here for good. Using the existing fortress as the nucleus of his palace, Josip Ignatz added a neoclassical faade topped by a clock tower, whose creamy-pink colour scheme is still in fabulous condition. Passing through the tunnel-like gate beneath the clocktower brings you into an attractive cobbled courtyard overlooked by a sandcastleshaped medieval tower and a whitewashed gothic chapel. The Valpovo Regional Museum (Muzej Valpovtine), tel. (+385-31) 65 06 39. Open 08:00 - 15:00, Mon, Thu 15:00 - 19:00. Closed Sat, Sun.

They might be able to open up the tower and the chapel for you if you make an appointment in advance.

Wine
For literally thousands of years in the regions of OsijekBaranja County, grapes have been cultivated to produce that ever-popular and satisfying beverage known as wine. The Baranja regions name itself is a hint as to its wine growing abilities: in Hungarian, boranya means wine mother. Obviously, it was given this moniker because it was particularly suited to growing grapes; that fact remains true to this day. The area receives just the right amount of rainfall every year and has the ideal average temperature to enable those yummy little fruits to grow (and get squashed later on). One of the ways to get acquainted with some of Croatias finest wines is to take a trip along the wine road. The wine road runs through Baranja district along Banska kosa hill, Mons aureus or Golden Hill, akovo district, Erdut district and Feranci district - a route that will lead you to renowned wine merchants who will do their best to convince you of the superiority of their liquid wares. The growing popularity of the regions wine has made the wine road an oft-visited attraction for the area. Consequently, the cellars and the wine keep getting better and better. Its time to start tasting! You can visit the cellars every day (except during the grape harvest) but be sure to call first to make an appointment.
