> Osijek is the 4th largest city in Croatia, with total population of ca
> 100,000 inhabitants. It is a city located inland in the eastern part of
> the country on the right bank of the river Drava. Osijek, as a city finds
> it's foundations in the ancient times when Romans established
> colonies in these places. Various cultures have left their mark in this
> city, since Osijek is also strategically well-positioned, and you do not
> have a long drive to neighbouring countries like Hungary and Serbia. In
> its close vicinity there is a must-see Nature Park Kopački rit, also
> called the European Amazon which was declared a part of the
> Mura-Drava-Danube Biosphere Reserve under UNESCO. The city is affiliated
> with many notable persons such as two Nobel Prize winners (Lavoslav
> Ružička and Vladimir Prelog), Branko Lustig, a Hollywood producer and
> winner of two Oscars (for Schindler's List and Gladiator) and Julije
> Knifer, abstract painter
> 
> The city is increasingly attracting young populations thanks to its
> university and a growing software development scene. Osijek is also known
> as a gastronomical capital of Croatia, offering diverse specialties such
> as fresh fish, game, organic veggies, homemade pastry etc. The city has a
> growing craft beer scene, and its surrounding is traditionally well known
> as a wine making region. The city is considered as a local capital of
> bicycling and every June it hosts Pannonian Challenge, an extreme sport
> and music festival. More interesting and useful information about Osijek
> you can find at: https://www.tzosijek.hr/index.php
>
