Municipality of Oprisavci: Gajna, horses and Posavina

A pasture typical of the Slavonian Sava lowlands, a place of worship dating from 1830, and several horse-related attractions shape the travel experience in the Municipality of Oprisavci. The municipality lies in the eastern Posavina area of Brod-Posavina County, between the A3 Zagreb–Lipovac motorway to the north and the Sava to the south. When choosing your hotel, you can consider whether nature, local history or horse-related experiences will be the focus of your trip.

Gajna Wetland and Route 302

Gajna is a pasture typical of the Slavonian Sava lowlands, with rich wetland flora and fauna. The area is a protected landscape, and it also has an educational trail. Gajna thus combines a distinctive landscape with a practical way to learn about wetlands, without limiting its nature focus to just one aspect.

Route 302, Slavonska ravnica, passes by the Gajna nature reserve and is 53 kilometres long. This offers two different options for planning: the educational trail in the protected area and a longer route that passes by it. Check the route before setting out.

Local History and Hospitality

The parish church of Uzvišenja Sv. križa is located in Oprisavci and dates from 1830. It complements the nature and horse-related themes with a historic point of interest in the village—a different way to experience the municipality than visiting the landscape area or an agritourism business.

The village of Oprisavci is also home to Kuća dida Tunje, a large hospitality complex. It includes three traditional taverns, a beer hall, a souvenir shop and a children's playground. The complex also features an old Slavonian house that has been restored in the traditional style and prepared for guests to stay overnight. If you are considering this guesthouse for your trip, ask directly about availability for your preferred dates.

Horse-related Attractions in the Municipality

At the “Mata” agritourism business in Trnjanski Kuti, horses are the main attraction; several of them are ponies. Horse riding under expert supervision is available. Homemade products produced on the farm can also be enjoyed there. Before making specific plans to visit or ride, it is advisable to ask whether these options will be available on your preferred date.

Another place to see horses is Ergela Olanović in Poljanci. The stud farm has 20 Lipizzaners of all ages. Visitors can tour the stud farm and go horse riding, as well as take rides in farm wagons and carriages. Unlike at Mata, the focus here is on the Lipizzaners and the additional wagon and carriage rides; Mata’s distinctive features include its ponies and farm-produced products.

Hiking Options in the Wider Brod-Posavina Destination

The wider Brod-Posavina destination also offers a range of hiking routes to consider when planning your trip. The Strmac–Brezovo polje trail is 7.1 kilometres long and is listed as a three-hour route. The circular trail around Lake Petnja is 18.8 kilometres long and takes five to six hours. The comparison shows the difference in time commitment: a three-hour hike makes for a different day’s outing than a walk lasting five to six hours. These two examples broaden the picture of Brod-Posavina County alongside the local nature and horse-related attractions of the Municipality of Oprisavci.
