Discover Pećinci

Pećinci is the administrative centre of the municipality and borders the E70 motorway. One of the defining cultural attractions is the Serbian Bread Museum – Jeremija, which began operating in 1995. In the surrounding area lies the horseshoe-shaped Obedska bara between Kupinovo and the neighbouring village of Obrež. It represents the former riverbed of the Sava.

The Serbian Bread Museum – Jeremija stands out for its direct access to individual exhibits: visitors can touch some objects, while the workings of selected objects are demonstrated. This means that a museum visit is not limited to viewing the exhibits.

The Pećinci Cultural Centre organises traditional events, festivals, competitions and cultural programmes for all age groups throughout the year. The Svetosavska svečanost takes place there every January. Other documented cultural heritage sites in the municipality include Aksentijev Kućerak in Ogar. The building was constructed in the second half of the 18th century and is protected as a cultural monument of exceptional importance.

Obedska bara has maintained trails named “Putevi đurđevka”, “Staza potkovice” and “Kružna edukativna staza”. The nature reserve also offers boat and catamaran rides.

MagicZoo in Donji Tovarnik is home to more than 100 different bird species as well as native and exotic animals; the site also includes an aquarium.

The Pećinačka Kotlićijada is a competition for preparing traditional Srem paprikaš. At Pećinačko kulturno leto, the presentation “Kolači naših baka” is dedicated to preserving traditional recipes and the domestic confectionery heritage. Both examples show different sides of the regional cultural programme: in one case, the preparation of a savoury dish; in the other, the passing on of baking traditions.

The art colony in Kupinovo is also part of the recurring events calendar. It has taken place continuously every May since 2009. During the colony, visitors are invited to watch the artists or join them. In addition, the municipal recitation showcase “Pesniče naroda mog” takes place in Pećinci in March.

For initial orientation, it is important to consider whether you mainly want to include the cultural attractions in Pećinci or also destinations in the wider municipality. The location on the E70 is one of the documented characteristics of the area; it is not associated with specific distances, journey times or features of individual accommodations. When searching for a hotel, you can therefore compare your preferred location with the planned focus of your trip.

For a regional comparison, you can also view Surduk, Platičevo, Morović, Vrdnik, Jarak, Šid, Sremska Mitrovica and Beška.
