Numerous flatbed wetlands of Slavonia portray a great wealth of forests known for its monumental pedunculate oak trees, in particular the Spačva basin between the Bosut and Sava. Slavonia is well-known also for its vineyards and the wine cellaring tradition, in particular the Kutjevo, Baranja, Erdut and Srijem vineyards with their famous cellars of Kutjevo, Kneževi Vinogradi, Zmajevac, Suza, Erdut and Ilok.
