 Arriving in osiJeK
Foreword

5
Virtually any discussion about vacationing in Europe is bound
to come around to the famed Croatian coast. But there’s
more to Croatia than just the coast (believe it or not!) and
it would truly be a shame to miss out on an opportunity to
visit the Continental part of the country and catch a glimpse
of what life is like in the another part of Croatia. The region
surrounding Osijek is renowned for warm-hearted people,
delicious food and a wealth of outdoor activities.
The city itself has a charming, small-town feel, with wide
avenues and spacious squares that just beg to be explored
and admired. It’s also known as the greenest Croatian city,
and for good reason. There are 17 parks in the city, full of
trees and grass to play and lounge around in. The aesthetic
pleasures of the city are complemented by a rich historical
and architectural tradition, present in the cathedral and
fortress that are must-see sights during your visit to the
city.
And once you have explored the city itself, there are a load of
day-trips to be taken, including bicycling along the Danube,
fishing in the Drava, birdwatching in the Kopački Rit Nature
Park or visiting the castles that are all just a short distance
from the city. If you come expecting the coast, you will be
slightly disappointed. If you come expecting a chance to
experience the culture, history and traditions of a unique
part of the world and to have a relaxing, low-key stay, then
you will certainly be pleasantly surprised.

In order to win a
prized medal blood, sweat and tears
often portray the dedication required
to achieve such a reward. Well what
about the work that goes behind making that prized medal?
What about the craftsmanship required without the use of
today’s technology? This is a dedication to a man who was
able to do exactly that; Ivo Kerdić (19.05.1881 - 27.10.1953),
a great Croatian sculptor and medal maker who was renowned
for his creative work in small plastics art.
Kerdić mastered his craft in Paris and Vienna and was flawless
in his efforts to engrave and carve. His hidden treasures will
be revealed to the public. A staggering 625 original works
will include medals, plaques, badges, reward medals, coins
and sculptures which were made between 1905 to 1953,
encompassing 170 topics altogether.
This rich opus not only gives the public an insight into the
extraordinary art work Kerdić was able to produce, it also
reveals a sign of the times, a glimpse at Zagreb and Croatian
public life, its heroes and other topical themes of yester
years. It reveals the production and development of small
plastics and medal making in a European context as well
as its significance.
Kerdić has definitely left an imprint in his field, leaving behind
a collection of riches to his oeuvre. Many of the works will be
displayed for the very first time thus showcasing a vast and
credible career. It is one thing to earn a medal and another to
make it, Kerdić has finally earned the right to take his place
on the podium.

Fiš paprikaš
A traditional gastronomic specialty of the Slavonia and
Baranja region made from at least two types of fish. Just
so you know, catfish is a part of every fish paprikash as
well as sweet red pepper and dry hot red chilli peppers.
This dish is best served with homemade noodles. If
you do not have the courage to indulge in this culinary
adventure on your own, come to Topolje where at the end
of April or the beginning of May, the so-called
Somijada
(catfish fair) is held; it includes a Croatian fishermen’s
competition and a contest in making the most appetizing
fish paprikash. So you can taste it first hand and from the
best.
