Erdut Tourist Information
Being situated upon the Danube (road and railway border crossings), Erdut plays an important role in transit tourism. The beauty and attractiveness of the wine-growing district and the hilly landscape above the Danube have made Erdut a popular excursion destination of the Osijek and Vukovar citizens. The supreme quality wines of the Erdut wine-cellars and large wooden casks are well-known among wine connoisseurs. The largest cask, made of 150-year old oak-wood, with a content of 75,000 l, was included in the Guinness Record Book. The picturesque elevations rising above the Danube, between Aljmas and Erdut, are protected as an important landscape. The loess deposits on the remains of old elevations have already grown, and the slopes toward the Danube are cut sharply and rise 70 m above the river. Hunting and angling opportunities in the immediate vicinity. The local cuisine offers Slavonian delicacies, venison and freshwater fish with the famous Erdut wines.

The main quadrangular tower underwent unfortunate reconstruction and was turned into the tomb of the Cseh family; only wall fragments of the old tower can be seen today. There is a Renaissance tower on the same location, with a circular ground-plan, loopholes and a projected upper coronate on the consoles; a part of the old wall with windows is by the tower.
