The Aljmaš mountains are a part of the village of Aljmaš, with the famous shrine of Our Lady of Refuge where thousands of believers make a pilgrimage every year. Located near the confluence of the Drava and Danube, Aljmaš has developed tourism from seekers of rural surroundings, hunting and fishing.
There you can taste fine wine and try specialties of the local kitchens, then head to the environmentally education path from Poric to Erdut. It is a 12-kilometer-long trail that leads along the Danube through beautiful nature connecting these two places.
Fans of active holidays will also be interesting in the fact that the Danube Cycling Route (EV6) passes through Aljmaš connecting 10 European countries, 4 UNSECO sites and 6 European rivers!
