Bus from ALEKSINAC to DUSSELDORF

About the station ALEKSINAC

Aleksinac is a city in Serbia and the seat of the municipality in the Niš District. According to the 2022 census, it has about 14,590 inhabitants. Aleksinac is located 30 kilometers from Niš, to the north, on the highway to Belgrade, but it is less well known that it is at the intersection of 2 other main roads, one of which leads from northeastern Serbia and Sokobanja via Aleksinac to Toplica; the second road leads from Eastern Serbia via Aleksinac, and further towards Kruševac and Western Serbia.

Starting from the 16th century, we have data on Aleksinac and most of the surrounding settlements. The oldest data is found in the Kruševac Sandžak Defter, number 55, written in 1516. From it we conclude that almost all current settlements in that territory, as well as Aleksinac itself, are of medieval origin.

In the past, the development of the Aleksinac region was greatly influenced by the fact that the Constantinople Road passed through it, from which the road to Sokobanja and Knjaževac branched off. The Constantinople Road was used to transport goods from Turkey to Central Europe, and for this reason, Prince Miloš thoroughly repaired and maintained it.

Today, agricultural land occupies as much as 64% of the city's territory, and about 60% of households are engaged in agricultural production. With this percentage, the Aleksinac region is considered a developed agricultural region. The majority of industrial enterprises have been closed due to the deep financial crisis. Some enterprises have been privatized, while others are awaiting reconstruction. Industry is concentrated in the city itself and in the Aleksinac Mine.

The natural beauty of Aleksinac is reflected in the extraordinary diversity of landscapes where gentle valleys, dense forests, vast pastures and high rocky peaks alternate, so that the area of this municipality has all the conditions for the development of rural tourism.

The city has a Center for Culture and Arts, an amateur theater, a Music School, a Homeland Museum, and a well-equipped public library. Aleksinac has always been a hospitable and open city. With the Brđanka Park, where there is a monument to Russian volunteers who died in the war of 1876, and the Russian Church in the village of Gornji Adrovac, built on the site of the death of Colonel Rajevski, a Russian volunteer who died fighting against the Turks on August 20, 1876, then with Lake Bovan, with two medieval monasteries, in Lipovac and in the village of Praskovče, Aleksinac is a significant tourist destination in this part of Serbia. Rural tourism is cultivated in the villages of Radevac, Lipovac, and Gornji Adrovac, where accommodation facilities have been built and adapted to provide tourists with complete comfort. In these villages, tourists can learn about traditional and almost forgotten professions and crafts, preparing traditional dishes... According to the data of the Tourism and Sports Organization of the Municipality of Aleksinac, tourists visiting the town show the greatest interest in visiting historical monuments, churches and monasteries, the so-called religious tourism.

About the destination DUSSELDORF

Dusseldorf

The Rhine City is a popular destination for city-dwellers, especially among young people. During the summer time, Düsseldorf captivates with its beautiful Rhine river promenade and in winter with the Christmas markets. Among the following popular attractions in Dusseldorf you will find other attractions that give the special charm to the city.

The Rhine Tower: Dusseldorf's landmark is the Rhine Tower, which can be seen from both sides of the Rhine and from afar. With 240.50 meters it is the tallest building in the city and the tenth television tower in the Federal Republic. Built from 1978 to 1982, the Rhine Tower is now the carrier of radio and VHF antennas and serves as a viewing platform at the same time. The largest digital clock in the world is located on its side facing the old town. Another special feature are the panoramic windows of the tower, which allow the direct view of the tower.

The Rhine promenade: On the weekend, the promenade on the banks of the river Rhine becomes a pedestrian mile. In numerous restaurants you can taste the Rhinish cuisine and watch the hustle and bustle on the Uferstraße. The Freitreppe on the Burgplatz is also a place to relax. The Rhine promenade became popular in 1990. The design of the promenade has already received numerous awards, among others in the year 1998 with the Deutsche Städtebaupreis. The lakeside promenade is also the venue for some annual events such as the Dusseldorf Marathon, or the large fireworks on the occasion of the Dusseldorf fairgrounds. Only a few steps away is the Old Town of Dusseldorf, also a popular attraction for locals and visitors to Düsseldorf.

The Königsallee: The Königsallee in Dusseldorf's inner city is one of the most famous luxury shopping destinations in Europe. The numerous cafes, shopping malls, shops and jeweleries are the main attraction of Dusseldorf and visitors from all over the world come here. Located directly on the river Düssel, you can stroll and relax here. Already built in 1804 as a promenade on the eastern city wall, the Königsallee was already a favorite boulevard and celebrated its 210th anniversary last year. Today, Kö, as it is also called, is also a popular venue. Every year there are literary festivals, running events and a place where some carnival walks take place.

The Media Harbour: The Rhine determines the cityscape and cultural life of the city. At Düsseldorf Media Harbour, over the past twenty years, an architecturally attractive area has been created. Used as a commercial and inland port before 1990, the harbour is now the home of many renowned media companies, which earned it the name Media Harbour. Renowned tenants are Antenne Düsseldorf, the WDR and the film and media foundation NRW. Since the 2000s there are also some shops and around 40 restaurants, cafés and clubs. Despite the 600 companies located here, Media Harbour is the most sparsely populated area in Düsseldorf, with just under 100 inhabitants. However, a planned residential development is intended to change this fact. Also worth seeing is the Landtag building as well as already-mentioned the Rhine tower, which is located in the eastern part of the harbor.

The Old Town: Although the second smallest district of Dusseldorf, the old city is one of the most popular places in the city. During the day, attractions such as the Hofgarten, the town hall and the adjacent Rhine river invite visitors wander through the old town. In the evening it becomes a party of celebrations. More than 300 pubs, restaurants and clubs can be found on half a square kilometer. The many festivals gave the old town the nickname "the longest bar in the world". A must for a short visit to Dusseldorf is the visit of the house brewery "Zum Uerige" near the Rhine. Also in the historical district are the market square and the castle tower.

The Benrath Castle: The castle of Benrath was commissioned in 1773 by the Elector Karl Theodor of the Palatinate as a widow's seat of the Electress. The leading architect was Nicolas de Pigage, the architect of numerous Baroque buildings and castles. In addition to the pleasure castle, the castle grounds also include the hunting park, some ponds and a canal system. The castle now houses the Museum of European Gardening, a Natural History Museum and the Stiftung Castle und Park Benrath. Tickets are available for 9 euros, with an ocassional discount 6 euros.

The Wildpark Düsseldorf: There is a number green areas in Dusseldorf, but the most popular of all of them is the Wildpark in the Grafenberger Wald. The entrance to the Wildpark is free of charge all year round. The enclosure, already built in 1927, now covers 40 hectares, with around 100 animals. In addition to wild boars, visitors can admire red-breasted and muffled deer in the naturally-arranged enclosures. Other inhabitants are pheasants, partridges and raccoons. Additional attractions in the Düsseldorfer Wildpark are the Waldlehrpfad and the many hiking trails around the large area.
