Hey there! Greetings from Kovin, Serbia! Day 8 here and I gotta say, this place just keeps surprising me. The clear sky and 17°C weather are making me feel right at home. (Though I could do with a bit more sun, but hey, can’t have it all, right?) I’m starting to really get a feel for this neighborhood – the hustle and bustle, the friendly locals, and the delicious food. (Seriously, I can’t get enough of the local cuisine!) Today, I had a small chat with a shop owner who taught me a phrase in Serbian – “Hvala puno” (thank you very much). Stay tuned for more adventures from my day exploring this charming town. Can’t wait to share it with you!
Local Cuisine Discoveries

So, let me tell you about my dining experience at Restoran Kovinski Dunavac in Kovin. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by the cozy atmosphere and the smell of delicious food wafting through the air. The rustic decor and friendly staff made me feel right at home, like I was dining at a friend’s house rather than a restaurant. Located near the beautiful Danube River, this place has a charm that’s hard to resist. (Pro tip: Make sure to book a table in advance, as it can get pretty busy, especially on weekends.)
Now, let’s talk about the food. I tried the Gibanica, a traditional Serbian pastry filled with cheese and eggs, and let me tell you, it was a game-changer. The flavors were rich and comforting, and it paired perfectly with a glass of local wine. For the main course, I couldn’t resist the Karađorđeva šnicla, a breaded and stuffed veal or pork dish that was simply divine. And of course, I had to sample the Punjene paprike, stuffed peppers that were bursting with flavor. Overall, my dining experience at Restoran Kovinski Dunavac was top-notch, and I can’t wait to go back for more tasty treats. (Just a heads up, the prices are reasonable, so you won’t break the bank indulging in these delicious dishes.)
Exploring Kovin Museum

I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Kovin Museum in Kovin, and let me tell you, it was a pleasant surprise. As I strolled through the exhibits, I couldn’t help but be impressed by the rich cultural heritage on display. The setting of the museum, nestled in the heart of Kovin, lent an air of authenticity to the experience. The atmosphere was relaxed and inviting, making it easy to lose myself in the fascinating history of the region.
One interesting fact that caught my attention was that Kovin was once a major Roman settlement, with artifacts dating back to that period on display. As I wandered through the museum, I couldn’t help but marvel at the intricate details of the ancient artifacts and the stories they told. For those planning a visit, I would recommend going on a weekday morning to avoid the crowds and taking the time to chat with the knowledgeable staff who can provide even more insights into Kovin’s history. Overall, the Kovin Museum is a hidden gem that offers a unique glimpse into the cultural tapestry of Eastern Europe.
Tomorrow’s Adventures

I’ve heard so much about the stunning views and lively atmosphere, and I just can’t wait to experience it for myself. Plus, who doesn’t love a leisurely stroll along a beautiful river, right? Now, when you’re exploring the promenade, make sure to grab a local snack from one of the vendors along the way. Trust me, you don’t want to miss out on the delicious pastries and treats they have to offer. And don’t forget to bring some cash with you – some of the vendors might not accept cards. As you soak in the beauty of the Danube, keep an eye out for the local fishermen casting their lines. It’s a common sight here, and it adds to the authentic charm of the place. Oh, and if you’re feeling adventurous, why not try striking up a conversation with them? You might just learn a thing or two about their fishing techniques.
