Opatovac, Lovas, Rural settlement in Vukovar-Srijem County, Croatia
Opatovac is a small rural settlement in eastern Croatia located within the Lovas administrative area, situated in flat agricultural land typical of the region. The village has a modest population and retains its countryside character with scattered houses surrounded by farmland.
The settlement was part of Vukovar municipality until 1991, when Croatia's independence led to its reassignment to the Lovas administrative district. This shift marked the beginning of a new administrative era for the area.
The Church of Our Lady Mary, Queen of the Holy Rosary serves as the spiritual center where locals gather for worship and community events throughout the year.
The settlement is accessible by road and connects to nearby larger towns for medical services and supplies, though public transportation options are limited in the area. Visitors are best served by having their own transportation to explore the surrounding countryside.
The local football club NK Opatovac was founded in 1999 and competes in the third division of the region, demonstrating how sports remain part of community life even in small villages. The team carries forward the sporting heritage of the area and provides opportunities for local players.
