HVALA Paul ! Bilo je uzbudljivo pogledati Vaš prilog te pratiti s kojim oduševljenjem govorite o istoku Hrvatske. Mi Hrvati često nismo svjesni ljepote naše domovine a doista je prekrasna i ima što za ponuditi.

Vukovar, I was born there on the banks of the Danube river. But we got outta dodge when I was 3 and hopped it to Australia, I would have been at just the right military age in 1990 to eat some lead if we had stayed.

What about Nature park Papuk that is the only Geo park in Croatia, Jankovac - beautiful forest park, hundreds of kilometers of hiking and bike roads on Psunj & Papuk, Lipik - one of the most beautiful picturesque small town in Croatia with famous State stud farm? Also, Iločki podrumi are the oldest, but best wines from Croatia come from Kutjevo region thet is also worth the visit. It's a shame you didn't mention Požeško-slavonska region at all that also had a lot to offer for more active tourism. This is the best of Osijek, Erdut & Baranja but NOT all Slavonija. Best regards Paul :)
