Bus from RUMA to MUNICH

Ruma is a town and municipality located in the Srem District of the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina, Serbia. 

The question of the meaning of the name Ruma has not been resolved. Most probably, it is about the oriental origin that came to these regions with the Turks, but it does not exclude the possibility to date from even older times.

Ruma is located near the southern slopes of Fruška gora, at an elevation of 111 meters. It is characterized by a flatland configuration of the terrain, a fertile land and the gentle landscapes of central Srem.

The lack of a large water course successfully compensated for the three Roman streams (Borkovački, Kudoški and Jelenački), which found a place in the coat of arms of the city, and in the early seventies, artificial lake Borkovac was built in the immediate vicinity of Ruma, accumulated from the same stream.

Cultural life in the city takes place under the auspices of several cultural institutions. The Cultural Center, the Regional Museum and the City Library regularly hold cinema and theater performances, concerts, book promotions, art exhibitions and other cultural events, among which the most important is the Festival of Music Associations of Vojvodina.

The Youth Council of Ruma plays the most important role in the cultural and artistic life of young people in Ruma. It is an association of organizations dealing with youth: Scout Scout, Ruma City Theater, Ruma Youth Literature Youth, Cancer Society of the Municipality of Ruma and Association of Artists of the Municipality of Ruma.

The largest number of people is employed in industry and agriculture. As a traditional agricultural region, Ruma still has a solid basis for the development of this activity, either through the individual sector, or through appropriate industrial branches (food, leather, wood, the agricultural tire industry).

Ruma also has a long tradition in trade, and in this respect is certainly the most famous Romanian fair held every third of the month. Unfortunately, the craft, which was once also a trademark of the Ruma, gradually dies and moves into history.
