Tourist guide Županja, Croatia

Županja is a town in Vukovar-Srijem County, located on the Sava River in the far east of Croatia (Slavonia). There are about 12,000 inhabitants in Županja, and they are mostly engaged in agricultural production and processing and the wood industry (due to the nearby Spačva forest). Županja was first mentioned in the 16th century as Zapana Blacio (Županje Blato) and was created by merging several smaller villages into a single city, which developed intensively after the victory over the Turks in the 18th century when it became part of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy and as part of the established Slavonian military border in which the military regiment was stationed. Today, Županja is an excellent starting point for research and getting to know the culture, traditions, and customs of Slavonia and this part of Croatia.
