Serbia

Prewar building WW 1

The Church of Saint Sava is a Serbian Orthodox church located in Belgrade. It is one of the largest Orthodox churches in the world and ranks among the largest church buildings in the world

Now that the lock is closed water is flushed into this area raising our vessel and others in the area to the level of the lake that we will be sailing in a few minutes.

The fortress at night in Stari Grad.

Art work on the side of Soviet era apartment buildings.

View inside the dining hall is quite large. All food is prepared in an adjacent building across the patio area.

Traffic jams are universal all over the world.

In the 1960's the former Yugoslavia, now part of Serbia and Romania cooperated on a joint venture that raised the level of the Danube with a series of Hydroelectric dams called the Iron Gates. The Danube is now placid between the Iron Gates, the long gorge is now underwater. This part is known as Iron Gate 2 as we are sailing from the Black Sea back toward Budapest in reverse of the normal trips. .

Numerous homes and second homes have been build along the banks of the newly formed lake on the Danube River.

Entrance to a farm where we have a traditional Serbian feast. It was very good.

Cool looking outdoor restaurant with umbrellas inverted upside down for shade.

I was told this is a demonstration by teachers in Belgrade the day we were touring.
