In the north-east of the country, far from the atmosphere of the Adriatic coast, the region of Slavonia reveals a little-known face of Croatia, rural and wild. The Danube and its tributaries, the Sava and Drava, criss-cross its rich plains with fertile land dotted with forests. Depart in the morning for a walking tour of Vukovar. Although the town was sadly notorious for being besieged during the war in the 1990s, it has now been given a new lease of life and a new look.
