Description
Explore Sremski Karlovci, a Baroque town with a rich history, on a guided tour. Visit the Chapel of Peace, the main square, the Four Lion Fountain, the Karlovci Gymnasium, and more.
The tour begins with a pick-up in Novi Sad in a comfortable, modern Škoda Superb.
Explore the charming Baroque town of Sremski Karlovci, known for its quiet streets lined with small houses, historic churches, elegant palaces, and picturesque gardens. At the Chapel of Peace, learn about its historical significance as the site where the first round table was used for negotiations, giving rise to the expression "round table." .
Stroll through the main square to admire the Four Lion Fountain, the iconic Karlovci Gymnasium, the Town Hall, the Roman Catholic Church, the Serbian Orthodox Church of St. Nicholas, and other notable landmarks.
Enjoy a tasting of the famous "Bermet," a Serbian wine so distinguished that it was even served on the Titanic. Pay tribute at the monument of Baron Pyotr Nikolayevich Wrangel. In 1922, Baron Wrangel arrived in the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes as the leader of all White Russian refugees. By 1924, he had founded the Russian All-Military Union in Sremski Karlovci, a civilian organization that united Russian military émigrés worldwide and aimed to preserve the Russian military spirit for a future struggle against Bolshevism.
Rising like a silent guardian of the region, Fruška Gora Mountain, which once stood as an island in the vast prehistoric Pannonian Sea, is now Serbia's oldest national park. As you take in the scenic beauty of its lush slopes, you will stop at Krušedol Monastery, the most significant of Fruška Gora's sacred sites. Founded between 1509 and 1514 by Saint Maksim Branković, Metropolitan of Belgrade and Srem, and his mother, Saint Angelina of Serbia, Krušedol Monastery stands as a cornerstone of Serbian Orthodox heritage on this "Holy Mountain of Serbia."
