What is equally the City capital. In the summer time, interesting and important is that Balkans

7 stay at Ada Ciganlija and use of all the infrastructure is free of charge. The fee has to be paid only for sports courts and equipment. Ada with its lake and nearby smaller island Ada Medjica lies in the area of about 800 hectares. The lake is 4.2 kilometres long, approximately 200 metres wide, and its depth is from four to six metres. Many rowing competitions were held on this lake and according to Mr. Predrag Petrovic, the Director of the Public Enterprise “Ada Ciganlija,“ famous Harvard and Yale eight-oared shells will compete on the Ada Lake this autumn. Before that, the rowing competition will be held within this year’s Univerzijada. This is going to be a great pleasure for young sportsmen since the Sava Lake is one of the five best rowing and kayak lanes in the world. Ada is equally acceptable for solitary walks as well as for sports fishing. Not far away from the big lake the small one was also made that is full of fish and therefore gives an opportunity for competitions or pleasure fishing. Golf courts can be used by both the beginners and the experienced competitors. All the baseball clubs that have been founded in Belgrade during the last decade are located at Ada. Field hockey can also be played here, and rugby, beach volleyball, but the biggest interest remains for the traditionally popular sports in Belgrade – basketball, football, and tennis. At Ada Ciganlija there are several dozens of registered sports clubs that use 50 sports courts, including the water sports lanes. The biggest attractions are some relatively new sports such as climbing up the artificial cliff or paint ball. Nevertheless, when big European or world rowing competitions are organized here there are more spectators on the stands and along the beach than in the city stadiums at important matches. Ada Ciganlija is in the centre of one of the biggest Belgrade

8 attractions. Those floating houses started their life here some fifty years ago as houses on water. Their builders were the Belgrade artists, intellectuals, but also ordinary people who are in love with the river. For decades they were the source of inspiration for painters and writers who were socializing with fishermen and strange Robinsones who lived solitaire life at Ada, just a couple of kilometres away from the city throng. Today more famous are boat restaurants as places fit for nightlife. From places for family gatherings, many of them turned into restaurants and cafes, often very luxurious ones, but still quite intimate thanks to the regular guests. Ada is also connected with . There are boats that take passengers from one to the other side of the river every ten minutes. New Belgrade riverside and the left Ada bank make very picturesque amphitheatre surrounded with the boat restaurants that are reflected in the Sava River water during night. There, with the sounds of music, the time passes very quickly and parties last until dawn. Most precious thing that Ada Ciganlija has is its natural surroundings. Oak and elm forests, American poplar and ash are the habitat of various kinds of birds. Once there were wild boars on this island but now you can only come across a doe or different kinds of small forest animals. No matter how urbanized and organized it is, Ada has preserved the spirit of wildness so that it is possible to explore wild tracks in relatively small area and run into unusually entwined vegetation untouched by the human hand. Ada Ciganlija is the pearl of Belgrade. The city gives its best to preserve it as an oasis of nature and still to keep the spirit of joy, relaxed atmosphere, pleasure, and adventure. Therefore, this part of the city has become the symbol of Belgrade that everybody loves, the reason to come to visit and revisit the Serbian capital.
