Nature & Views

Vršački breg & Gudurički vrh — the roof of Vojvodina

The Vršac Hills are the westernmost arm of the Carpathians, and their summit — Gudurički vrh, 641 m — is the highest point of the entire province. Marked trails climb through oak woods from the town to the medieval Tower, the Forester’s Hut and the mountain house, with the whole Banat plain unfolding below.

Festivals & Wine

Grožđenbal — Vršac’s Grape Harvest Days

The grape harvest festival that has run in the third week of September since the 19th century: Vinko Lozić — Sterija’s fictional bon vivant — receives the keys of the city, Wine Square pours the Gudurica whites, a carnival fills the streets, and a light plane drops parachutes with grapes and prizes over the crowd.

Cycling

Cycling the vineyard villages: Malo Središte, Gudurica, Veliko Središte

The classic half-day loop from town: quiet rural roads through the vineyards to the 15th-century monastery of Malo Središte (famed for its healing water), on to a cellar lunch in Gudurica below the provincial high point, and back through Veliko Središte — about 30 km with 680 m of gentle climbing.
