It is located between the 19th and 20th degree of the eastern longitude and the 45th and 46th degree of the northern latitude, on 72 to11.79 80 m of altitude. Novi Sad is located on the international road, which connects Budapest and Vienna, Thessalonica, Athens, Bucharest and Istanbul The highway E-72 [Budapest-Belgrade-Nis] passes alongside Novi Sad while the highway E-70 [Zagreb-Belgrade] is in the close vicinity. The average distance between Novi Sad and the neighbouring countries [Hungary, Romania, Croatia, Bosnia and Hercegovina] is 80 km while the nearest airport in Belgrade is 70 km away. The advantage of this town lies in its geo-strategic location. Novi Sad is on the water road Rain-Main-Danube that connects nine countries and six capitals of Europe, and which is 588 km long in our country. Novi Sad is also famous for its attractive picnic grounds in the surroundings of the town, around the banks of the river or on Fruska Gora. Population Novi Sad has 300 000 inhabitants [298 139 according to the census in 2002]. Novi Sad is a multi-ethnic place [Serbs, Hungarians, Montenegrins, Slovaks, Ruthanians, Croats, Hebrews, Romany people and others] where national communities are equally presented in the political, public and cultural life. Languages Serbian language and Cyrillic alphabet are officially used in the town. Hungarian, Slovakian and Ruthanian languages and their alphabets are also officially used according to the law and the specific decision of the town's Assembly. Vojvodina is known for its enormous cultural value not only for the Serbs but for all the nations that comprise it [the province is consisted of 6 constituent nations and 30 other nationalities, the most diverse area in Europe after Greater London]. - Fruska Gora- a pilgramige site; located outside Novi Sad on a mountin overlooking Pannonian Plain, it posseses dosens of monasteries of Serbian Orthodox Church built between 15-19th centuries by Serbian settlers from the south. Combining European reinassance with ancient Balkan culture these churches have a big cultural importance as a bridge between so called Southern and Northern Serbs. - Sremski Karlovci- today a town belonging to municipality of Novi Sad, has been a cultural seat of the Serbs in Austria for centuries. It contains the Patriarchate of Serbian Church [approved by Leopold page 2 / 4 von Austria], the oldest Serbian gymnasium [1791], and was the seat of the Cogress of Holy League in 1699, when great powers [Poland, Austria, Venice] have given this land to Austria for protection. One of the most picturesque sites in the country. - Dundjerski Castle- just like other regions that have belonged to Austria, Vojvodina has more than 20 castles from that period, belonging mostly to Germans, Magyars and some Serbian noble families in the past. Most of them are under protection of the state today. - Palic lake- the oldest tourist attraction in the country, dating back to 1840s, when it was a spa for European nobility. Today it faces its reconstruction trying to achieve its former glory. Most people in Vojvodina, especially the younger and in the cities, can speak and understand at least some English. German is also often taught at school, French is restricted to a very thin elite, but Hungarian remains native to 14 percent of the population and is spoken by many more. If you are studying Serbian, Vojvodina may be your best place to start using it. The speech there is slow and clear, indeed so slow that it has become the butt of jokes. But Serbian is by no means the only language you may hear in that province. With over three quarters of the population now claiming Serbian as their mother tongue, it is true that Vojvodina is no longer the linguistic mosaic that it used to be. But it remains ethnically diverse and many Vojvodinians take pride in preserving their various native languages. No less than six are considered official: Serbian, Hungarian, Slovak, Romanian, Croatian, and Rusyn. They may soon be joined by the Serbo-Croatian dialect spoken by the Bunjevci, an ethnic group from northwestern Vojvodina, which is a controversial matter as both Serbs and Croats claim the Bunjevci as their own. German, or rather its dialect called Danube Swabian, was native to one quarter of Vojvodina's population before the Second World War, and spoken by many more. But most ethnic Germans were either deported or killed in the war's aftermath. With just over three thousand local Germans remaining dispersed throughout Vojvodina today, their dialect is all but extinct. Some members of other tiny minorities, hailing from various parts of the Habsburg Empire [the Czechs, the Ukrainians, etc.] and the former Yugoslavia [the Macedonians, the Albanians, etc.] also try to preserve their native languages. Vojvodina is home also to the Roma or Gypsies, many of whom speak their various mother tongues. Last but not least, some of the newest immigrants speak Chinese. Sremski Karlovci In the immediate vicinity of Novi Sad is the town of Sremski Karlovci, a typical town from the end of the 18-th and the beginning of the 19-th century, in the baroque and neo-classical style. The town had been the cultural and educational centre of the Serbs in the Austria-Hungary Empire, in which the peace agreement, between Turkey and Austria and its allies, was signed in 1699. The buildings of the Patriarchate of the Serbian Orthodox church and the Gymnasium, valuable iconostasis in the Orthodox church, architectural details on many old buildings, and especailly the vacation area Strazilovo, can all draw attention of the tourists. The grave of one of the greatest poets of romanticism, Branko Radicevic, is located on top of the hill Strazilovo. Rich history of the town, which was first mentioned in 1308, can be seen in the Museum, located in the "Ilion" building. The Gymnasium of Karlovci is the oldest Serbian gymnasium, built in 1791, while the entrance in the monumental Patriarchate court is among the most successful works of Vojvodina's architecture from the end of the 19-th century. ___________________________________________________________ Fishing Lake crni Vir [Black Whirlpool] is located at the very entrance to Kac, a settlement near Salas 84. The lake is actually a former backwater of the Danube, surrounded by reed. There are 18 locations for fishing, each of which is equipped with a wooden platform, which makes fishing easier, since the bank is rather steep. The lake is home to a whole wealth of carps, grass carps, pikes, breams... Hunting Vast fields around Salas 84 are hunting grounds rich in pheasants, hares and deer. History and culture A visit to the church in Gospo?inci where a banner with the names of World War I volunteers is kept, some of which are also engraved on the plates at the Serbian Military cemetery in Thessalonica; the unique church in curug with three spires, a three-tone church-bell and the iconostasis made of white marble; the Orthodox church in zabalj with the iconostasis made of multicolour stones and the Roman catholic church dedicated to the Snow Lady or the Greek-catholic church of the Nativity of the Mother of God in ?ur?evo.
