The oldest settlement in the Municipality of Indjija, Stari Slankamen, is situated on the place where the Danube cuts its way through the edge slopes of Fruska Gora. It is a small rural settlement with serpentine streets that create a special ambient where with its baroque belfry St Nikola’s Church dominates the view.

Numerous cultural and historical monuments tell us of the rich history of Stari Slankamen. The archeological site Gradina with remains of fortress Acumincum and the monument of the Slankamen battle show the strategic importance of this place situated by the River Danube which has represented a border between different empires for centuries.

Besides the history, the nature has also given Stari Slankamen numerous tourist values: the loess profiles unique in Europe, mineral springs, river full of fish, beautiful banks, sandy isles and beaches. Mineral spring "Slanaca", one of a few salty springs in Vojvodina, was used back in the Turkish period and long time ago the sanatorium was formed on it.
