Choosing Lukač as a destination lets you combine local history and cycling in the settlement with a broader look at Općina Lukač: the Drava and its associated oxbow lakes offer opportunities for fishing and other forms of recreational tourism. It is also worth distinguishing between locations when looking for accommodation. The “Drava circle” cycling circuit passes through the settlement of Lukač; Kurija Janković, which operates as a hotel, is in Kapela Dvor within the wider Općina Lukač destination. You can therefore focus your search on Lukač itself or on the wider municipal area.
