A tour and wine tasting at this old winery was as fun and entertaining a tour as we had hoped for. The tour began with an explanation of the history of the winery followed by a tour of the old brick lined and curved ceiling wine cellar. We then were seated at large picnic style tables and took part in a wine tasting which included detailed information on the wines. After that we took the opportunity to purchase wines at their store. Highly recommended activity.
3. Old Water Tower
The tower was built in 1913. Today it's one of the oldest facilities of that kind in Croatia. It occupies a central place on the main square in front of the Dunav hotel and City Hall.
4. Church of St. Nicholas
Orthodox Church of St. Nicholas was built in the period from 1733 to 1737 with elements of the Provincial Baroque. The last significant change dates back to 1935. In the church there is a room where church books and old office records are kept since 1732 onwards.
5. Becarski Kriz
The whole part of the city is called after this cross - at Becarski Kriz. This was the first stone cross erected in 1805 (before they were all wooden). In 1996 local Serbian authorities knocked down the cross, and later on it was renewed.
6. The Central Cross
The cross was erected in the honor of all fallen defenders for Croatian freedom in October 1998, at the estuary of river Vuka. The monument is 9.5 meters high and weighs 40 tons. It consists of two parts, and it is made of two types of stone: white Brac stone (the cross) and Pazin stone (the stand).
