On a sunny day at the park, it won’t be hard to spot newlyweds posing for a photo before the saletla, or the white gazebo.M.A. Some of the deciduous trees older than 100 years old, as well as Lombardy poplar, silver linden and European nettle tree, easily stand out, along with the park’s decorative plants such as the white poplar, cherry plum and Turkish hazel. Visitors to the park between March and October will be greeted by the lush foliage of its 600 trees ranging from sycamores and hazelnuts to birches and wild chestnuts. The park since the late 2010s has also been called the “Frozen Forest” for this classic scene of skaters on the lake. “In winter, the lake inside the park freezes and turns into a skating rink,” said Nemanja Grbic. The park, like Belgrade Fortress, is very much part of the people's lives. Once a marshland, the park, also locally referred to as Dunavski Park, was drained and landscaped at the end of the 19th century, and since then has welcomed many daydreaming poets and artists of Serbia, paying tribute to the nation’s literary giants such as poets Branko Radicevic and Djura Jaksic. Located in Novi Sad, the second largest city of Serbia, the Danube Park sits on the banks of the Danube, one of the longest rivers in Europe that stretches across the continent’s central and southeastern nations. To share their tips on the not-to-be-missed tour points across the historic and grand parks of Serbia - such as the underground tour of Kalemagdan Park, or the country’s sulfuric springs resort Banja Koviljaca - as well as their impressions of the natural cityscape in Seoul, Grbic and his wife Ines Grbic sat down with the Korea JoongAng Daily.
Weathering many battles waged as the Romans, Austro-Hungarians and the Ottoman Turks came and went, the fortress and its structures were reconstructed by Serbian despot Stefan Lazarevic in the 15th century - around the same time that Korea built Changdeokgung Palace. The park is located within Belgrade Fortress, whose records date back to third century B.C.
“There is no better place to comprehend, at least at the first glance, the history of Belgrade and Serbia than at Kalemegdan Park,” said Nemanja Grbic, ambassador of Serbia to Korea, speaking at the embassy in Seoul recently. The sites of historic battles, popular spa vacations and the winding paths once taken by Romantic poets are accessible just a few steps into the parks of Serbia.
