A special convenience is the possibility of sports preparation for different groups of professional athletes, with an emphasis on the swimming pool.<\/p>\n

Foreign teams often organize their performance trainings at the SRC Sisak pool, because there are also sports hall, gym and sauna at their disposal, as well as accommodation facilities (hotels and rooms for rent) in the vicinity of the pool.<\/p>\n

A further advantage for Sisak citizens and their guests is the fact that this impressive sports center is located in the very heart of the city of Sisak, and is easily accessible. Sports groups also have the opportunity to travel around the city and surrounding area through cooperation of SRC Sisak and the Tourist Board of Sisak, and another convenience is a free use of bicycles owned by Tourist Board of Sisak in their free time.<\/p>\n

There are also soccer fields with artificial turf, and football fans can enjoy their sport either through training or through watching matches.<\/p>\n

Since you are already in Sisak, it would be a shame not to try functional bike trails interspersed throughout the city, enjoy the views and the river reflection of this small historic gem.<\/p>\n

Sisak is certainly one of the most beautiful tourist towns whose distinctive industrial heritage is being actively studied and evaluated as an exceptional treasure of cultural identity and economic legacy.<\/p>\n

And the field of Lonja river (Lonjsko Polje) with its vacation facilities, is increasingly being discovered by domestic and foreign visitors, along with the other charms of this region.<\/p>\n
