Petrovaradin is a fortress, not a castle. Padlock on the bridges you can find all over a Europe. It is not a Russian or Serbian thing. The first record of the name Belograd appeared in 878, in a Papal letter to Bulgarian ruler. This name would appear in several variants: Alba Bulgarica in Latin, Griechisch Weissenburg in High German, Nándorfehérvár in Hungarian, and Castelbianco in Venetian, and all names would mean ‘white fortress'. The main holidays in Serbia are Slava, Božić and Uskrs. It was same in Russia before October Revolution in 1917. Christmass was one of most important holidays and it was falling on 25th of December. Communists banned religious holidays so we started celebrating New Year instead. Few years later goverments accepted new calendar but Church haven’t, so Chrismass was ‘deyaled’ 13 days and it fell on 7th of January.
09:34 im from Serbia also. Christmass-Božić and Easter-Uskrs-VOSKRS(like russian VOKRSENIE) are THE MOST IMPORTANT hollidayS amongst Serbs also amongst christians in Serbia(Serbs-Montenegrians, Hungarians, Slovaks, Romanians, Bulgarians and Gipsies(90% of gipsies in Serbia are christians). New year IS NOT THE MOST IMPORTANT holliday, it is INTERNATIONAL holiday, it is a reason why everyone celebrate it, THE BIGEST but NOT the most iimportant in Serbia. Again. CHRISTMAS and EASTERN are THE MOST IMPORTANT besides SLAVA(holliday unique for Serbia, it is a day where familly celebrate home protector, saint who protects some home, some fammilly, for example, 19. December is Saint Nicolas, 21. November is Saint Archangel, 27 the January Saint Sava. Sain Luka, Saint Petka(woman), Sain George, Sain Marco, May the 8ght. Sorry, my awful english writing and gramm, i hope you can understand my english.
Fortress has extensive underground tunnels and these are fairly deep. Purpose of these was to allow defenders to listen for any tunnelling activity by the enemy. Enemy would want to destroy the walls by building tunnels under the walls where they would place barrels of gunpowder that are to be detonated at appropriate time. There are videos of guided tours through tunnels and some claim that these have a total length of 30km. Personally I doubt that anyone would have managed to measure total length. My guess is that the length would be no more than few kilometres but there are multiple levels so who knows.
Fortress was build by Austrians to stop Ottomans, catacombs is a wrong but we use it too lol it has I think 4 levels of underground tunels that are very long and very wide spreaded, fun facts, there was a zoo on the fortress, and they also wanted to destroy it after it had no use to use bricks to buld stuf in Wien,luckily they didn’t, and the fortress is huge you saw like 10% only , across the street they is very cool walk zone , and a nice Church hidden between the woods
Petrovaradin is not another town it is not even has it’s own district as some other parts of the city, like Veternik, Kamenica or Futog.Other town worth of visiting is Sremski Karlovci near Novi Sad, 20 minute ride from Petrovaradin it has a very rich history and it is known for vine, vine from Sremski Karlovci was served on Titanic. Petrovaradin is btw the oldest part of Novi Sad, acrossthe Danube were mainly swamps before 16th century.
Danube/Dunav river reminds me of SingiDUN the old Celtic name of Beograd. It passes through: Donau (German) Dunaj (Slovak) Duna (Hungarian) Dunav / Дунав (Serbo-Croatian) Дунав (Bulgarian) Dunav Dunărea (Romanian) Дунай (Ukrainian) Dunay
In Celtic Dun means fortress and av means river. Both rivers called Morava, one in Czechia and one in Serbia have Celtic oriign. Mor means big and av means river. There are many names of places in Germany which end with au. Celts were almost everywhere in Europe and also in Asia Minor.
How did you shoot video while riding the bike?? I agree worth Alena about changing names! Why can't we just call our country Rossiya in English as well, Korea - Hanguk, Finland - Suomi and many more examples
I became a professional vlogger. So I can hold the phone with one hand and ride the bicycle with another. :) Yeah, changing names is strange. The name should be translated as it is. :)
Touristic is a word you use a lot, but it is not an expression anyone generally says in england ( I even had to google it to see if it is really a word - which it is), we would describe somewhere as a tourist town, or tourist resort instead.
Also the fortress is home to Exist festival, on of the largest music festivals in Europe, when over 200 000 foreigners come to the city
I was in Serbia ifrom late ¨92 to late ¨95,during crazy years!Great memories!!!

Go to a guided tour of underground of Petrovaradin fortress and of museum that's in the fortress. Its not expensive and it is extremely interesting
The locks are new and all the same. It is a wedding business doing that. The lock is part of the wedding package.

dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/touristic
Yes I also googled it and saw it was a real word.... but english people generally say tourist place, not touristic ( I dont know about the US)
@@lindsaypalmer11 sometimes I use French words thinking that in English it's the same. In French they say touristique :)
