History
A cluster of restored wooden watermills on the Karašica river, some over 200 years old, where locals still occasionally grind corn the traditional way for ceremonies. The setting — poplars, storks, quiet water — is pure old Slavonia. Best combined with a lunch of homemade čvarci (crackling) and fresh bread at any nearby seoski turizam farm.
“At its peak in the 19th century, the lower Drava basin had over 400 working watermills — today only a handful survive, mostly as heritage sites.”
