History
The vast forests around the Tikveš castle were the personal hunting grounds of the Habsburg emperors and later of Tito. Today Kopački Rit's protected core, this is one of Europe's finest habitats for red deer and wild boar.
“Franz Ferdinand hunted at Tikveš several times before his assassination in Sarajevo in 1914 — his personal hunting logs survive in the archives.”
