Srijemske Laze, Rural settlement in Vukovar-Srijem County, Croatia.
Srijemske Laze is a rural settlement in Vukovar-Srijem County in eastern Croatia. The village spreads across agricultural land in the flat Pannonian plain at an elevation of about 94 meters.
The settlement began in the medieval period under the name 'Laz' as a Catholic community. In the late 17th century, Serbian settlers arrived as the Ottoman forces withdrew from the region.
The Orthodox Christian faith shapes how residents live and celebrate together throughout the year. The Serbian community forms the cultural backbone of daily life in this settlement.
The settlement is located on the D46 road, which connects it to Vinkovci city to the northwest and continues toward Serbia. The flat terrain makes the countryside easy to explore and navigate through the agricultural areas.
The fields around the settlement are primarily used for growing corn, wheat, sunflowers, and sugar beets in the fertile soil. These four crops define the landscape and the rhythm of agricultural work throughout the year.
