A walk to see the first spring flowers in Stari Slankamen
Can you feel it? Spring is in the air.
Which means it's time to get out of the city for a walk🌱
On 8 February we're going to Stari Slankamen — to walk through the fields and along the Danube. No mountains or heroics this time. And it's less than an hour's drive from Belgrade.
We'll look for the first spring flowers🪻, breathe fresh air, stretch our legs and watch nature wake up after winter.
🌿 The route is easy and pleasant; we'll choose the length to suit the group's level.
🌼 Our guide will be Natalia:
- an expert on Stari Slankamen with 20 years' experience,
- a coach and nutritionist,
- a passionate botanist and herbalist.
Along the way Natalia will tell us about the history, climate and geography of these places. We'll pick the first violets, dandelions and other spring flowers, and find out how they can be used as food. We'll hear about the Slankamen spa and the spring of solar water — one of the treasures of Vojvodina.
If the spring is running, we'll try its healing water, so bring an empty bottle just in case.
And then — lunch at a restaurant and a visit to our favourite historic winery at Milan's.
He's waiting 🍷
🏰 A bit of history (and it's incredible here)
Stari Slankamen sits on a prominent loess hill above the Danube.
Once there was an ancient fortification here, and later the medieval fortress of Acumincum.
Artefacts from Celtic and Roman times have been found in these parts.
Today all that's left of the fortress are picturesque ruins — and one of the most beautiful views of the Danube and the Bačka plain.
We'll definitely climb to the top (spoiler: a five-year-old managed the climb), stroll around the hill and soak up the energy of this place.
🍇After the walk we'll head down to one of the oldest surviving buildings in Stari Slankamen, which now houses a winery. Our hospitable host will tell us, in excellent Russian, about his unique winemaking method and show us around the former parish house, whose cellar still holds the remains of a 16th-century Turkish bath, as well as the winery itself.
🌿 So, what awaits us is a relaxed photo walk through the countryside along the Danube. We'll have a glass of wine at the winery. And we'll enjoy nature, fresh air and great company.
