Belišće is a town in the Slavonia region of eastern Croatia, located in the Osijek-Baranja county, about 30 kilometers from the capital Osijek. The town is situated on the banks of the Drava River, next to the famous Koprivnica-Kitlje Nature Reserve, and boasts a rich natural landscape and a mild continental climate.
Belišće developed in the 19th century due to the rise of the timber industry, once known as the "Belišće Paper Mill". Today the economy is based on agriculture, food processing and small-scale manufacturing, and the surrounding area is rich in wheat and corn. The town retains historical buildings such as St. Anthony's Church in the neoclassical style, reflecting the cultural traditions of the Slavonian region.
Visitors can engage in fishing and cycling activities along the Drava River or explore the nearby wetlands for bird watching. Folklore festivals and traditional food festivals (e.g. barbecues and wine tastings) held every summer attract many visitors. Transportation connects to Osijek via the D2 highway, providing easy access to the Croatian interior and the Hungarian border.
