The village is situated among the floodplains of the Danube: Ponjavica on the east, which has been declared a nature park, and Ivanovačko Ostrvo, on the south, which has been declared a natural monument. Ivanovačko ostrvo occupies the river island (ada) of Ivanovo, just south of the village, which has been formed by the Nadela, Dunavac and Danube, at its .

River and canal banks are inhabited by the relics Pančić's frog grass (Senecio pancicii) and wild grape vine (Vitis vinifera subsp. sylvestris). The village is almost from all sides encircled by the rivers and canals (Veliki kanal, etc.), giving an island feel. The section along the Dunavac and the Danube itself is protected by an embankment, which protects the village as it is located below the Danube's level. Ivanovo is located in the vast Banat plain, surrounded by the pastures and the groves of poplar and black locust. Along the village, the avenues of walnut trees and lindens are planted. The waters around the village are a natural spawning area of common carp, so the fishing is quite developed, though mostly a recreational one.
