The Sava river, 950 km long, created by two minor rivers - the Sava Dolinka and the Sava Bohinjka, passes on its way even through four countries: Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia. Only the ancient Greeks realized the Sava was not a part of the Danube and provided this river with the myth task to feed the God of Zeus (the Danube) by ambrosia, in order to make him immortal. The Romans called the Sava 'Savus' and the Danube 'Danubius'. They were drawn in the first maps of the Balkans with such names.
There was sailing on the Sava since ancient times and it had a special importance in the Roman Empire. During the centuries, there was more or less sailing on it, depending upon the social/political/economic situations in the river bank region. By the former Yugoslavia falling apart, the traffic on the Sava was reduced and the sailing tourism starts developing sporadically. Currently, the sailing and environment tourism are developing on the Sava increasingly, for fun and fishing. The water is clean, full of high quality fish. The river bank region is covered by dense forests and attractive locations, where the tourism offer is organized increasingly, as well.
The Tourist Organization of Belgrade and Internet Serbia Travel News suggest the tourists to visit the Belgrade's Municipality of Surčin. The sailing tourism development is rising at its territory. |
