Općina Oprisavci: location and landscape

Within the wider destination of Općina Oprisavci, the municipality lies in the eastern Posavina region of Brod-Posavina County. It is located between the A3 Zagreb–Lipovac motorway to the north and the Sava River to the south. This describes the municipality’s location; nature and cultural attractions are spread across its respective settlements.

Općina Oprisavci is home to the protected Gajna landscape, a pasture typical of the Slavonian Sava lowlands. This 480-hectare floodplain lies along the Sava and is characterized by wetland flora and fauna. A nature conservation project described in 2014 focused on the indigenous Slavonian-Syrmian Podolac cattle breed. If you plan to visit Gajna, check in advance who currently manages the area.

Gajna has an educational trail. The 53-kilometre Route 302 Slavonska ravnica passes by the nature reserve. The two points of reference therefore differ: the educational trail is inside the area, while the route passes by it. Check the route before your trip.

Horse experiences in Općina Oprisavci

At the Mata agricultural tourism farm in Trnjanski Kuti, horses take centre stage, including several ponies. Horse riding is available under expert supervision. You can also enjoy homemade products made on the farm. If you are planning an activity, it is worth checking in advance whether visits are possible on your chosen date.

The traditional event Razigrane grive in Trnjanski Kuti features horse riding and carriage rides. It is organized by Općina Oprisavci, the local committee, and the local tourism board. As event dates and the current program are important for planning, check them in advance.

In Poljanci, the Olanović Stud Farm has 20 Lipizzaners of all ages. Possible activities include visits to the stud farm and horse riding, as well as rides in farm wagons or carriages. Before planning a visit, check which activities are available on your preferred date.

Culture and hospitality in Oprisavci

In the village of Oprisavci is Kuća dida Tunje, a large hospitality complex. It includes three konobas, a beer hall, a souvenir shop, and a children’s playground. An old Slavonian house on the complex has also been restored in the traditional style and prepared for overnight stays. If you plan to use specific facilities or are considering this accommodation, check their current availability.

Another cultural landmark in Općina Oprisavci is the parish church of Uzvišenja Sv. križa in Oprisavci, which dates back to 1830. This provides a historical counterpoint from a much later period to the prehistoric Gradina in Novi Grad.
