diocletianvs Says: This is not exactly "Off the beaten track tip" as the building of the Savings Bank is situated on the main street leading eastwards from the main square. But I am sure you won't find it in most tourist guides as people writing tourist guides seem to completely ignore the...
Bike routes- Danube bike routes
loonytoon01 Says: Bike routes are a very new thing in the eastern part of Croatia but I managed to find a few that are feautured on the Danube bike routes (and if you bike you'll probably get quite a few people staring with open curiosity as some of the villages have not had many tourists,...
