Laminci Sređani: Lake, History and Hotels

Laminci Sređani offers a range of options to consider when planning your trip: the Jezero Laminci sports and recreation complex, archaeological evidence, and sites of cultural heritage. These attractions and historic sites differ considerably: the lake focuses on recreation and sport, while Baćin, Cintor and Ivaštani illustrate different periods of history.

Jezero Laminci: Exercise, Water and Sport

A one-kilometre path runs around Lake Jezero Laminci and is suitable for running, walking and cycling. Check the path’s current condition before setting out.

The Jezero Laminci sports and recreation complex includes an artificial lake used for swimming and sport fishing. Alongside the route around the water, activities directly on the lake are also a main attraction. The complex also has two tennis courts, which visitors can rent by the hour. If you have a particular use of the lake or a tennis court in mind, check access or court availability in advance.

Cultural History between Baćin and Cintor

Baćin is a medieval gradište, meaning a fortified earthwork. A historical description mentions two ramparts that protected the site. This information identifies Baćin as a fortification; its designation and protection by the two ramparts are the site’s defining features. These distinguish it from the evidence found at Cintor.

Cintor, also known as Fox Hill, is associated with several periods of history. In Roman times, a fortress stood there. In the Middle Ages, Livač or Levač Castle was built on its foundations. The relationship between the two structures makes the sequence particularly clear: the medieval castle followed the Roman fortress and used its foundations. The Church of Saint Prophet Elijah also stands at the site.

Another archaeological find is located in the Ivaštani field in Laminci Sređani: a settlement existed there in pre-Roman times and continued to exist during the Roman period. In the recorded history of these places, both an early settlement and the fortress at Cintor thus represent different aspects of ancient habitation.

Memorial Site and Birthplace

The monument in Laminci Sređani commemorates fallen Partisan fighters and victims of fascist terror from 1941 to 1945. Its significance extends beyond the village: the commemoration also includes Laminci Brezici, Laminci Dubrave and Laminci Jaružani. The memorial site is therefore associated not only with Laminci Sređani, but also with these three villages.

Another aspect of cultural heritage is the birthplace of Prote Subotić. The house is considered an example of the rural landscape of the late 19th century. Prote Dusan Subotic (1884–1941), a figure of the Burgenland Enlightenment, was born there. The connection between the birthplace and the character of the landscape gives the building a distinct historical significance, different from that of the fortified sites and archaeological settlements.
