Osijek, the centre of Slavonia should get a new contemporary hostel with 150 beds in 2013. Its construction is planned on almost 6000 square meters of abandoned space in a building in Tvđa (fortress). The values of the investment reaches 4 million euros and part of the money will be secured through EU funds. As this is a protected monument of culture, the reconstruction will take place under the supervision of conservationists. Apart from the room, which will hold 150 beds, the hostel will have a kitchen, an open restaurant, a tourist information desk, a large conference hall and two classrooms. The facility is to be a multifunctional youth hostel.

In Osijek`s Tvrđa (fortress) from which the town rose, there is already a hostel called Tufna, but it is a facility with only about 20 beds.
