Nazi shipwrecks – Prahovo, Serbia: At least 20 wrecks have been visible from the riverbank at Prahovo, near the Serbian-Romanian border, this summer. Some are still believed to contain weapons or explosives, so they should be viewed from the bank rather than approached. Visibility will change as river levels rise and fall.
