The Danube is alive. It is a river that has a soul, that knows how to think, and that sometimes knows how to be stubborn. Many injustices are done to it, and pollution affects it especially. Once the Danube flowed where the Seminary is today, through Karlovci itself. Over time, the bank began to crumble and the main current moved to the side towards us. That became dangerous because the river threatened to carry away part of the town, since Karlovci in that market area is like an amphitheatre. Citizens of Karlovci then bought four old ships, so-called šajke, loaded them with stones and earth, and sank them along the bank. Only when they did that, the main current hit the obstacle and went to the other side.
