Camp Yugoland

Close to the border with Hungary, Subotica Sands (20 minutes’ drive) is an area of great biodiversity thanks to its unusual habitat, which combines areas of forest, steppe and wetland. Saffron grows around these parts – the only suitable terrain in the whole of Serbia. The Special Nature Reserve Ludaš Lake (20 minutes) centres on the lake of the same name. This area of wetlands is home to water buffalos, otters and turtles, as well as providing a rest for migratory birds. The shore around the lake is dotted with old farms and the occasional archaeological site. Cross the border into Hungary and visit the city of Szeged (50 minutes), known for its splendid Art Nouveau buildings. They include Reök Palace, now home to a gallery with rotating art exhibitions, and the Unger-Mayer ház, a mansion with a turret topped by a cupola decorated with statues of women holding hands.
