Zemun Quay

This guide to Zemun Quay in Belgrade starts with the stone river wall at your side and the floods it was built to hold back. Then it turns to a winter morning each January, when a procession from the Church of Saint Nicholas comes down to the Danube for Epiphany, and to the old belief that brings hundreds of swimmers to this bank. Best heard standing at the water's edge, looking out over the river.
