The city of Otok is the newest city in Croatia; by decision of the Croatian Parliament, it became a city on July 13, 2006. Some say that it got its official name (Otok means \u201cisland\u201d in Croatian) because it is surrounded by the forest, while others claim that because of the once frequent floods of the Bosut and Sava rivers, it would stay surrounded by water for a long time, just like an island. Today, Otok is one of the last peaceful urban oases, so the name fits it well.<\/p>\n<p>The town of Otok provides the best combination of a typically Slavonian atmosphere and a relaxed calmness of Srijem (Syrmia). Life around here is pleasant, and the forest is close by, so it is a great choice for an excursion, especially if you love nature, countryside and traditional gastronomy. The city has 4,899 inhabitants (including the village of Komletinci). People are friendly and warm. Everyone knows everyone else here.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d6b585e e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"d6b585e\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-50a1714 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"50a1714\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Although it is the newest Croatian city, Otok has a long and interesting history, and the cultural heritage of this city plays an important role in preserving the identity of the local community. <strong>Among the city&#8217;s rich heritage, <a href=\"https:\/\/visitspacva.hr\/en\/tradition\/\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Oto\u010dka suvara<\/span><\/a> (the Dry Mill of Otok), a unique dry mill, stands out.<\/strong> It is a world rarity dating from the 19th century, and the only preserved and restored mill that used to be powered by oxen, cows and horses, both in Croatia and in the whole of Southeast Europe.

Oborak is a circular wooden vessel made of elmwood that was most often made in Bo\u0161njaci, but it was sold all over Slavonia. It was used for scooping up cereal grains: corn, wheat, oats&#8230; It was also used to feed animals, and grains were stored in it as well. It was used for sowing and harvesting, the hens laid eggs in it, and the chicks were hatched in it.<\/p>\n<p>With the soul of a small place that immediately welcomes you and makes you soon feel like a local, Bo\u0161njaci is an essential stop on a trip through the Spa\u010dva Forest area.

in the Vukovar-Srijem County. The endless Slavonian plain on one side, and the dense oak forest on the other, steered the lives of the 4157 inhabitants of this municipality towards the land and the forest. The municipality&#8217;s coat of arms lies in the same vein: on a green background there are a pedunculate oak leaf and its acorn, and four golden wheat ears.<\/p>\n<p>When the Croatian writer and forester Josip Kozarac lived in Vrbanja at the end of the 19th century, the cutting of the Spa\u010dva oak and its exploitation was in full swing. Vrbanja from that time no longer exists. <strong>Today, the Vrbanja foresters take adequate care of the green treasures of Slavonia, and do not let the forestry tradition to disappear, which is why more than 50% of the municipality of Vrbanja\u2019s area is forested.<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1b29737 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"1b29737\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1d1c24f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1d1c24f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Vrbanja, Soljani and Stro\u0161inci once belonged to the Cvelferija (from the German <em>zw\u00f6lf<\/em>: twelve), i.e. they were part of the Twelfth Company at the time when companies were made of regiments into which Croatia was divided. The border guards who guarded the border from the Ottomans lived in the Cvelferija. Although it is still on the border with Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia, nowadays Cvelferija sings.
