Futog: Danube, Cycle Path and Kupusijada

On its way to the Black Sea, the Danube flows through Futog for a length of 6,590 meters. On the Bačka side, a developed cycle path runs along almost the entire Novi Sad–Futog–Begeč route. Futog is also connected to Novi Sad by city bus lines 53, 54, 55 and 56, as well as by taxi services.

The Danube is a defining geographical feature of the town: its course through Futog is one of the clearly documented reference points for classifying the destination. For cycling tourists, the Novi Sad–Futog–Begeč route is described particularly specifically. The developed cycle path begins at the Šodroš site, leads to Futog and continues to Begeč. This means you can view Futog as one section within this named route, without assuming a separate route or additional path.

The traditional “Kupusijada” event takes place annually in Futog and has been held continuously for more than twenty years. Its focus is Futoški kupus, which is considered Futog’s most important agricultural product. The product is attributed with traditional, ethnographic, cultural and tourism potential. For travel planning, this means that the focus is not only on an event date, but also on a local connection to agriculture and regional cuisine.

Next to the “Roman Catholic Church of the Sacred Heart” is an old parish house, built in 1776 and still preserved today. A relic of Saint Eugene is kept in the church. These two details connect a preserved historic building with a specific religious reference. This gives those exploring Futog from a cultural perspective a different focus than planning along the cycle route or around regional cuisine.

The named city bus lines 53, 54, 55 and 56, as well as taxi services, constitute the documented connection between Futog and Novi Sad. If you are looking for a hotel in Futog, you can therefore first decide whether your travel plans are focused primarily on local topics, the Novi Sad–Futog–Begeč route or the connection to the city. Specific travel times, accommodation features or a particular location cannot be deduced from this information.

What are the special features of the Orthodox church in Futog?

Construction of the “Orthodox Church of Saints Cosmas and Damian” began on September 18, 1776. Since 2012, part of the relics of Saints Cosmas and Damian has been kept there. The church celebrates the feast of Saints Cosmas and Damian on November 14 according to the new calendar.
