Municipality of Drenje: Lakes, Wine and Active Discovery
Accommodation in Municipality of Drenje
Lakes and countryside around Drenje
Lake Borovik lies west of Drenje and is artificial. The natural lake Kosinac, located 200 m from the village of Drenje, has a different landscape character. Its surroundings are characterised by unspoilt nature and abundant greenery; Kosinac is considered an oasis for recreation and relaxation. When planning your trip, you can therefore choose between Lake Borovik and the natural lake near Drenje, each offering a different focus.
The area around Lake Borovik and Borovik Forest is used for camping, walking and relaxing on the lake shores. There is a 400 m² wooden promenade by the lake. A pontoon basin was also completed there as part of work on visitor infrastructure. A beach about 260 m long was built below the existing Camp Borovik catering facility.
Hiking, cycling and a date in July
For those who enjoy exploring on foot, a section of the Slavonski planinarski put between Vučje Glave and Borovik is 8 km long, takes about two hours and has an elevation difference of 80 m. There is also a 32 km mountain biking route at Lake Borovik. These details describe two different ways to explore the area actively: a hiking stage with a specified distance, time and elevation difference, and a route for mountain bikes.
The Borovik mountain lodge has provided shelter and accommodation since 1982. A recurring event for sports enthusiasts is the triathlon, which the Đakovo Mountaineering Association holds at Borovik every year in mid-July. If you would also like to plan your trip around an event, mid-July offers a specific time to aim for.
Wine-growing and regional culture
More than 60 small and medium-sized family businesses in Drenje are involved in wine-growing. The wine routes lead to family businesses that produce and sell wine, where visitors can sample different varieties. If you would like to discover regional products, you can include this in your travel plans. Nearby, the Đakovo Tourist Board lists the “Mandićevac” wine tourism route as a visitor route.
Culture and local history are also among the things you can discover in the Municipality of Drenje. Drenje is home to the parish church of St Michael. “Susreti prijateljstva” is a cultural and sporting event with the stated aim of preserving and promoting the cultural heritage and traditions of the local regions. Cultural interests thus complement the choices of wine experiences, outdoor activities and time by the lakes.
Choose the right focus for your accommodation
When looking for a holiday apartment or holiday home, you can consider which experiences you would like to shape your stay. Drenje and its wine routes are a natural starting point if you are interested in wine-growing and tastings. Lake Borovik is the main focus for cycling, the hiking stage described above and activities on the water. Kosinac adds a natural lake to the options; it is located 200 m from the village of Drenje.
