Bačko Gradište

Bačko Gradište (Serbian Cyrillic: Бачко Градиште, pronounced [bâːtʃkɔː ɡrâdiːʃtɛ]; Hungarian: Bácsföldvár, pronounced [ˈbaːt͡ʃføldvaːr]; German: Feldwar in der Batschau) is a village located in the Bečej municipality, in the South Bačka District of Serbia.

Linguistically the village has a Slavophonic plurality as Serbs, Yugoslavs, Croats, Montenegrins and ethnic Muslims collectively compose 49.35% of the population.

After the Ottoman forces left, Bačko Gradište became part of Tisa military border district.

[citation needed] People from Novi Sad, Belgrade, Temerin, Bečej, and Vrbas have houses here and they spend their time here on weekends, because it is very relaxing and far away from the urban life.

On 1 May there is a huge holiday at the oxbow lake, where even people from neighbouring countries (Hungary) come to enjoy the nature.
