Capital/Largest City: Slavonski Brod (population: approximately 50,000)
Location: Nestled between the southern slopes of the Slavonian Mountains (Psunj, Dilj, Požeška Gora) to the north and the Sava River to the south, offering a mix of plains, hills, and river landscapes.
Key Features: Historically significant: the famous Brod Fortress (an 18th-century Austrian fortress against the Ottoman Empire) in Slavonski Brod.
Rich tradition, folklore, hospitality, and Slavonian cuisine (meat dishes, Sava fish, kulen, and wine).
Nature: River landscape, forests, and hiking trails in the hills.
Economy: agriculture, food industry, some transport (road and rail connections).
In short: a peaceful, hospitable Slavonian border region with a rich history, good food, and beautiful scenery, far from the hustle and bustle of coastal tourism.
