Štrand
Štrand - Beach on the Danube River
Štrand (Serbian Cyrillic: Штранд) is a popular beach on the Danube river in Novi Sad, Vojvodina, Serbia. It is located near the Freedom Bridge, in the city quarter known as Liman.
Its name derives from the German word Strand, meaning simply beach (In German, an initial s is usually pronounced as sh when it comes before a consonant, as in the Yiddish-English shtick, thus, the Serbian š correctly bears a diacritic reflecting this). The word for this place became popular in modern times in the population of Novi Sad and used because there is not an originally beach at the sea.
