Looking not much more than a wooden platform with a hut-like cabin on top, Osijek’s much-loved “Kompa” (“ferry“) transports foot passengers from Gornji Grad to the opposite bank of the Drava. It’s a remarkably simple contraption, using the force of the river current as the main means of propulsion – the ferry is held by a chain to prevent it from simply floating off downriver. Popular with families making their way to Osijek zoo (see Parks), the Kompa shuttles back and forth whenever the komparoš (captain) espies enough passengers to make the trip worthwhile.
Open April 15 - October 09:00 - 21:00.

Free of charge.
