The question arises as to why you should walk across the flat, agricultural plain of Vojvodina for two weeks?
First answer is to get to Greece as part of a walk across Europe. Indeed this is why many people have crossed Vojvodina over the years although usually in cars (although I suppose the Turks used horses).
Are there other reasons?
A second reason is the adventure of going to a country few tourists visit and to a part of the country where those few tourists rarely enter. Serbia is different with its funny Cyrillic letters and a recent history that does not encourage holidays. The E4 gives a route into this adventure.
A third reason is cultural. The area is a mix of Hungarian, Romanian and Serbian influences. Towns like Senta show the influence of Hungarian Art Nouveau and different architectural styles are present wherever you look.
The final reason is the countryside, the rythm of the agricultural activity, the ageless flocks of sheep with their shepherds or herds of cows with their cowherds. the crops, the canals and their fisherman escaping to some solitude, the great rivers flowing South.
