                The settlement of Futog is located next to the bank of the river Danube. Like in the majority of Vojvodina’ s settlements the most important facilities in Futog are two churches. The Serbian Orthodox Church of Kuzman and Damjan erected in 1776. The iconostas is made by ArsenijeTeodorović in 1799. In the Church there is a collection of icons of PavleSimić made in mid XVIII century. In the church yard there is a grave of SmiljkaJovanović, daughter of well known poet Jovan JovanovićZmaj. Roman-Catholic Church of Jesus Heart with two bell towers was erected in 1908. The church is constructed due to donations of Countess Kotek. In thieschurch the paintings of Joseph FerenzFalkoner from the end of XVIII century are preserved.

                Opposite the settlement of Futog, across the river, there is the settlement of Beočin. By the lower end of Beočinada are shallow waters as there is also sandy river bank. From the branch one enters 2km-long canal constructed for the needs of cement transport from cement factory Beočin to dam building site and water-power plant Djerdap.
