Foreword Osijek has a well-earned reputation for being the most relaxrelaxing of Croatian cities. Its inhabitants are notoriously laid-back  laid-bac k  and welcoming, its cit y centre is full of parks, and the stickaround-a-while-longer quality of its cafes and restaurants stands as a warning to anyone who thinks that life is there to be hurried. Walking is a pleasure rather than a burden in a predominantly low-rise centre whose skyline is periodically  punctured by some unusual archi tectural treat. And if you’re not much of o f a walker, walker, then don’t forget that the flat fla t nature of  the terrain ensures that Osijek is very much a bicycle -lovers’ kind of place. It is also the only city outside Zagreb that has a tram network, with two lines that take you almost every everywhere where you need to go in the city c entre.

Mario Šućur  Osijek is also a major university town, providing a seemingly  endless supply of young people who will decide what to do with the rest of their thei r lives just as soon as they’ve had a few more drinks. There are some excellent bars, pubs and clubs, with prices a fraction of what they are in Zagreb or on the Adriatic coast. The fact that the city centre comes in two parts – Gornji Gorn ji Grad to the west and Tvrđa to to the east – gives a night on the town an extra flavour: on warm summer nights there’s a constant stream of people flowing along the ri ver front between betwe en the outdoor bars of Zimska Zimsk a luka and the pubs and clubs o f the Tvrđa Tvrđa district a kilometre kil ometre or so downstream. Osijek is very much the capital of the Croatian southeast, an up-and-coming tourism centre that is increasingly well celebrated for its distinctive local cuisine and boutique wineries. There are also signs that Osijek is beginning to punch its cultural weight: the Croatian National Theatre in Osijek’s ground-breaking production of Unterstadt, staged in the open air during durin g the Osijek Cultural Sum mer, won the best  production in 2012’s Teatr.hr awards; while Osijek-based design team Lega-Lega are becoming a major nationwide retailer of T-Shirts and stationery, opening shops in Dubrovnik and Zagreb.

The church was built in the 1890s on the initiative of energetic Đakovo-based Bishop Josip Juraj Strossmayer, who reckoned that a 3000-capacity parish church was just what a growing town like Osijek Osijek needed. need ed. The church is entered via a small door to the right of the main portal, overlooked by a ferocious-looking trio of gargoyles. The interior in terior is a treasure trove of neo-gothic ornamentation, with a succession su ccession of pinnacled altars overlooked by exuberant stained glass windows. The interior was finished off in 1938-42 when leading Croatian painter Mirko Rački covered the walls and ceilings with brightly coloured frescoes illustrating episodes from the Old and New Testaments - most of  which will be easily identifiable to anyone who paid attention during Bible class.

European Avenue (Europska avenija) E/F-2. The broad tree-lined boulevard b oulevard that streaks eastwards from Gornji Grad towards Tvrđa Tvrđa is famed through out Europe for harboring  harborin g  one of the best-preserved ensembles of Art Nouveau houses in this corner of the continent. Ranked side by side on the north side of the avenue (numbers 12 to 22), they were commissioned by filth y-rich industrialists and hot-shot lawyers in the years just before World War II. Wilim Karl Hofbauer, Ante Slaviček Slaviček and Franz Franz Wybird W ybird were the Osijek-based Osijek-based architects responsible for most of the work. Take a look at the twirlyhaired goddesses peering down from no.22, or the gargoylelike faces perusing passers-by from the façade of no. 12, to get an idea of the fanciful decorative tastes of the era. On the opposite side of the road, the main post office (built in 1912) on the corner of Europska Avenija and Kardinala Stepinca is an impressive example example of the more functional, less frivolous architecture of the epoch.

This all-embracing all-embracing collection collec tion of Slavonian Slavonian art contains something   for ever everyone, yone, kicking kicki ng off with wi th some som e imposing imposi ng nineteen nine teenththcentury por traits of local aristocrats. Most striking striking of these is The Pejačević Pejačević Family Family in the Park (1811) by German society  societ y  painter Friedrich Johann Lieder, which fills an entire wall and shows the landowning dynast y lolling around in front of one of their many stately homes. I f you want to really really impress the locals with your knowle dge of nineteenth-century Slavonian Slavonian painting, then Adolf Waldinger (1843-1904) is the name to drop. Son of an Osijek Osijek wine merchan m erchant, t, Waldinger won a place at the Academy of Fine Ar t in Vienna but failed to graduate, and struggled to earn money as an art teacher before dying penniless and largely forgotten. He's now considered one of Slavonia's greatest landscape painters - the moody, atmospheric canvases on display here help to explain why. Things get more steamy as the collection moves on to the early twentieth-century, twentieth-cen tury, when most local artists seemed bent  on painting pictures of semi-naked ladies flouncing around in bedrooms. If you can bear to part company with these, thes e, a room or two of abstract works by contemporary painters brings things up to date. QOpen 10:00 - 18:00, Thu 10:00 - 20:00, Sat, Sun 10:00 - 13:00.

From here, pedestrians and cyclists glide eastwards along Šetalište Franje Franje Šepera, the rivers ri verside ide embankment that th at leads past a sequence of flowerbeds flowerbe ds and grassy parks.

Citadela – dio osječke Tvrđe, Marin Topić Topić (autor otografje)

DRAVskI NAsIP Rijeka Drava je neraskidiv dio Osijeka, ona mu daje posebnu draž. Šteta bi bilo ne prošetati duž nasipa, ne provozati se biciklističkim stazama, ne pridružiti se ribičima, ili se za ljetnih dana osvježiti na kupalištu. Zimska luka s restoranima i klubovima na vodi, ispi janje kave kave s pogledom na rijeku, rijeku, sve sve je to ona dodana dodana vrijednost što je Drava daje Osijeku. A tu je i nezaobilazna Kompa i njen komparoš, splav koja prebacuje putnike s obale kod Solarskog trga na drugu stranu Drave, do Tvrđavice i Zoološkog vrta. Splav je privezana za čelično uže koje povezuje stupove na dvije obale i nosi je riječna struja. Vozila je od 1916. do 1932. godine, kada je ukinuta i zamijenjena čamcima. Nakon Drugoga svjetskog rata, od 1948. godine ponovno svakodnevno prevozi putnike, od travnja do studenoga, besplatno od 09:00 do 21:00. EuROPskA AVENIJA E/F-2 Ova široka avenija što povezuje Gornji grad i Tvrđu znana je po jednom od najbolje očuvanih nizova secesijskih kuća u ovom dijelu Europe. Kuće su do d o pred Drugi svjetski rat uglavnom bile u vlasništvu bogatih industrijalaca i uglednih građana i pružaju izvrstan uvid u arhitekturu privatnih kuća toga razdoblja. Na asadama kuća od broja 12 do 22 još se mogu vidjeti vodorige i božice kako prate prolaznike. Na suprotnoj strani ulice nalazi se zgrada glavne pošte. ??city??.inyourpocket.com

TRG ANTE sTARČEVIĆA E-2 Gradski život i bilo stanovnika Osijeka najlakše se može opipati na glavnom osječkom trgu, prepoznatljivom po svom trokutastom obliku. Posebice je na njemu živo za topla vremena kada ga ožive djeca uokolo njegovih ontana, pune terase kaća, zaljubljeni parovi… TRG slOBODE E-2 Trg slobode izdvaja se veličinom i izgledom. Nalazi se u pješačkoj zoni, između ulice Hrvatske republike i Kapucinske. Trg u cjelinu zavidne ljepote povezuje spomenik palim borcima u Domovinskom ratu, dječje igralište, vodeni zid i park. Kažu,  jedan je to od najljepših trgova u Hrvatskoj. TVRĐA F-2 Neazaobilazan dio Osijeka je Tvrđa. Sa svojim kompleksom ulica, trgova i zgrada iz 18. stoljeća, Tvrđa je najuščuvaniji primjer barokne gradnje u Hrvatskoj. Austrijska vojska počela ju je graditi 1712. godine kao grad–tvrđavu po uzoru na nizozemske vojne utvrde i kao dio kompleksa utvrđenih gradova na granici s otomanskim carstvom. Do 1722. godine je većim dijelom bila završena, a manje intervencije obavljale su se sve do 60ih godina 19. stoljeća. Bila je okružena jarcima, zidinama sa 4 vrata, bastionima i stražarnicama. U središtu Tvrđe nalazi se glavni trg, Trg Svetog Trojstva, kojim danas dominira zgrada Glavne 5 January - February 2009

straže u kojoj je Arheološki muzej. Na sjevernoj strani je zgrada Gradskog magistrata u kojoj je danas Muzej Slavonije. Uz vojne objekte, skladišta, tu su i građanske kuće, obrti, najstarija pošta u Osijeku, ranjevački kompleks koji je bio središte kulture i obrazovanja u 18. i 19.stoljeću. S vremenom je vojno značenje Tvrđe slabilo. Zidine su smetale pri povezivanju Tvrđe s ostatkom grada i ruše se od 1923. do 1926. godine. Ostaju samo jedna, sjeverna, Vodena vrata prema Dravi, u kojima se danas nalazi spomen-ploča graditelju Tvrđe generalu Johannu Stephanu von Beckersu. Tvrđa je danas dom mnogih akulteta i zabavnih sadržaja, osobito za mlade, te kulturnih sadržaja i muzeja.

CRkVA sVETOG kRIžA F-2, Trg Vatroslava Lisinskog 3, Tvrđa Crkvu svetog Križa podigli su Franjevci početkom 18.st, a dovršena je 1732. godine. Uređena je u duhu baroka i rokokoa, no ono što najviše privlači hodočasnike je gotički kip Gospe Osječke. Povijest kipa bila je burna. U Osijek je stigao iz mjesta Jud, i to samo na čuvanje. No, kako je vrijeme prolazilo, događala su se mnoga čudesa koja se vezuju uz kip, čuda toliko velika da kip postaje Gospa Osječka i ostaje u Osijeku. Mise se održavaju radnim danom u 07:00 i 18:00, nedjeljom u 07:00, 09:00 i 18:00.

(+385-31) 31 00 20, [email protected], www. www.svpetaripavao.hr svpetaripavao.hr  Jedan od simbola grada Osijeka zasigurno je 90 metara visok toranj crvene neogotičke crkve u čiju je izradu utrošeno više od tri milijuna cigala! Crkva je izgrađena 1890-ih na inicijativu biskupa Josipa Jur ja Strossmayera koji ju je i posvetio 1900. godine. Unutrašnjost je vrlo koloristički oslikao slikar Mirko Rački, radeći na tome četiri godine, prekrivši zidove i stropove slikama iz Staroga i Novog zavjeta. Crkvu krasi i 40 vitraja izrađenih u bečkoj tvornici Gold. Do 2008. godine bila je to ‘samo’ župna crkva, uspostavom Đakovačko-osječke nadbiskupije postala je konkatedrala, no u Osijeku su je uvijek zvali – katedralom. Za Domovinskog je rata konkatedrala bila više puta napadana, ali bogoslužje u njoj nikada nije prekinuto. Mise se održavaju radnim danom u 07:00 i 18:30, nedjeljom u 06:30, 07:30, 08:30, 10:00, 11:30 i 18:30, tijekom srpnja i kolovoza radnim danom u 18:30, nedjeljom u 06:30, 08:30, 10:00, 18:30. žuPNA CRkVA sVETOG MIHAElA F-2, Trg Jurja Križanića 2, Tvrđa tel.

Ako se sa sela nekada bježalo, sada je došlo vrijeme da mu se polako vraćamo, pa makar to za početak bilo samo dugim vikendima.

sHoPPing Designer Goodies Made in Osijek

Beer, matches and soap used to count among Osijek’s most famous exports. Nowadays the Slavonian city is more widely associated with cool design, thanks in large part  to the Lega-Lega label, a range of cute, zany and cleverly  packaged accessories and stationery that successfully  unites quirky subculture with commercial acumen. The label name is in itself a reference to local street culture lega  (short for ‘colleague’) is a specifically Osijek form of  greeting, meaning something like ‘hi there!’ or ‘what’s up? Lega-Lega is the brainchil d of design studio studi o MIT, MIT, a group of  local creatives who discovered that they had more bright  ideas than they knew what to do with and simply decided to go into production with the best of them. At the end of  2006 MIT made a set s et of exclusive triangular-based triangular-based teacups packaged in a matt black box as a special gif t for some of  their best clients, clien ts, and were were so pleased with the results that  they decided to extend their activities activi ties into the commercial mainstream. They started producing own-design T-shirts printed with an imaginative selection of quirky designs and messages, and a range of stationery (notebooks, diaries and so on) sporting an attractive selection of printed, textured jackets. The brand became nationally visible in 2009, when Lega-Lega started selling their products in the Profil chain of multimedia stores. The T-Shirts were

Osijek In Your Po cket

packaged in milk-carton tetra-packs, a brilliant stroke of  marketing inspiration that conveyed the idea of freshness and caught the public imagination at the same time. Lega-Lega supplied a fridge to each Profil store so that the T-shirts could be stacked in the manner of chilled groceries. Recent additions to the range have included Legić baby  bibs and baby grows, and ankle straps for cyclists. The team behind Lega-Lega Lega-Lega are committed commit ted cycling enthusiasts enthu siasts and are among the key supporters of the Pannonian Challenge - an extreme cycling   fe s t i va l t h a t b r i n gs together all kinds of  alternative-culture tribes: skaters, rollerbladers and BMX bikers included. Lega-Lega have also helped to breathe new life into the normally sedate world of the drinks coaster, adorning them with the kind of witty graphic designs that owe a lot to the world of alternative comics and graffiti art. One of the th e best-selling coaster sets featured the Japanac (“Japanese Guy”), a surfing cartoon figure with a mane of flaming hair - profits from the limited-edition set  were donated to the Red Cross aid fund for the Japanese tsunami of 2011. Lega-Lega have picked up international interna tional awards for their designs and have also become an increasingly visible presence on the Croatian high street, opening stores in Dubrovnik Dubrovnik and Zagreb in 2012. Their  home base remains in Osijek, where the much-visited Lega-Lega shop occupies occupi es the ground floor of a three-storey  hothouse of innovation that also includes MIT’s offices offices and meeting rooms.The Lega-Lega shop is at Županijska 25 (www.lega-lega.com)

The menu is based on doing something  creative with what is autochthonous and traditional.” East of Zmajevac the Banska kosa ridge comes to an abrupt halt when it meets the river Danube, which today  marks the border between bet ween Croatia and the Serbian province of Vojvodina. The town of  Batina on the Croatian bank  of the Danube is dominated to a huge memorial to the dead of World War II. Grouped around the sculptor Antun Augustinčić's female allegory of victory mounted on a gargantuan pillar, the monument was built to commemorate the day in November 1944 when the Soviet Red Army and their Yugoslav Partizan allies crossed the river, incurring  heavy losses as they went. Batina is also the home town of the Kazalić winery, another quality producer  known for both classic reds like Cabernet Sauvignon and traditional local whites such as Graševina and Traminac. Another of Baranja's hit destinations is Karanac, a typical one-street village northwest of Kneževi Vinogradi with a more generous than usual sprinkling of traditional onestorey houses. One of Karanac's traditional farmsteads was purchased by Osijek-based tourism pioneer Denis Sklepić in 1998, who renovated it and transformed it  into one of the first rural-style B&Bs in the region. Up the road from Sklepić's place, the Baranjska kuća restaurant doesn't just serve up some of the best in EastCroatian cuisine, but also houses a private ethnographic collection, stuffed with domestic implements and craft  tools assembled over the years by the restaurant's owner. The fact that the Baranja has emerged as one of Croatia's most talked-about rural destinations has not come as a total surprise to the locals, who always knew that a seductive local brand could be fashioned on the basis of local wine wine and food. food. “If someone had asked asked me ten years ago what tourism in the Baranja was going to look  like in 2013”, then my answer would have been something  like this”, Damir Josić concludes, gesturing towards his restaurant slowly filling up with diners who have just been on a wine-tasting tour of the barrel-vaulted cellars right next  door.
