History and characteristics of the village of Sušara

This village is located on the southeastern edge of Deliblato Sands. It is the only village in the municipality that is mostly inhabited by Hungarians, which is why organized tours from Hungary come to this place en masse. The village Catholic Church of St. Laszlo has an accommodation capacity of 40 beds, so you can spend the night here. Also, most of the houses in this settlement are very hospitable and open to accommodate tourists. The village of Šušara was created in 1887 by uniting 2 settlements: Sandorf and Fejertelep, and it was named after the heat in the summer and drought (from the word drought). At the beginning of the 20th century, this village looked like a typical settlement of the Vojvodina type: it has 5 streets, with the main street being almost 4 km long, with tree lines on both sides. Next to the houses there is a kind of pavement made of compacted earth, or bricks made with concrete. The inhabitants of Šušare were mainly engaged in viticulture, agriculture, animal husbandry, beekeeping and silkworm breeding. In 1927, Sušara became the first and only political municipality in Banatska Peščara. Today, this settlement has a House of Culture, which can accommodate about 200 guests and is used for cultural events. It has a private school, 2 public schools, as well as a village clinic. Susara is also known as an air spa. On weekends, the number of inhabitants at this place doubles due to numerous tourist visits.
