BIOGRAPHY

1

Behind the project "Golubac from the boat" is a twenty-eight years old Jovan Kocmanovic, historian, tour guide and author of two books about Golubac. That's me! I began to work as a tour guide when I was still a history student. At that time I had a small boat with which I took tourists around Golubac fortress and told them stories about the history of the medieval edifice. Over time, I have expanded my job. I bought bigger and stronger vessels and started organizing multiple cruises. Then I came to the idea of ​​enriching the offer and allowing guests to experience the buzz of Golubac, which is impossible to see from the river. That's why I added a bicycle trip to the Tuman Monastery and a hiking trip through the woods of the Old Slavs. The goal of all my excursions is to promote Golubac. I want visitors and tourists to know the identity of Golubac. I'm sure Golubac is the most beautiful place to live. I want the guests to experience the wild romance of Djerdap and feel the burning past that has traveled through these Serbian regions. Each trip is accompanied by stories I wrote or I will write!
See you in Golubac!
