The story of Rakovac
Farmers, Romans with heated floors, monks who copied books by hand, and a legend about a deer. The history of Rakovac, told simply.
Places to play
Playgrounds and picnic spots
Good for kids
Eko park Zmajevac
A playground made entirely of wood at the Zmajevac picnic area on the ridge, 8–10 minutes by car up the road from the monastery: climbing logs, swings, a wooden train, learning boards about animal tracks and leaves, and exercise bars. More about Eko park Zmajevac.
Playground at the Kamenolom memorial
A small and rather neglected playground on the lawn right next to the Kamenolom memorial, about 500 m up the road from the monastery: a wooden swing with a baby seat, a seesaw, a metal climbing frame and a few benches. Behind it, a sign by some steps points up towards Beli Majdan.
The former playground near the monastery
There used to be a small playground to the right of the monastery, right behind the bus stop. When we passed on 20 October 2026 all the equipment had been removed and only bare ground was left. Perhaps a new playground will be built here; we will update this page when something appears. Until then, the nearest one is the playground at the Kamenolom memorial (above).
Brankovac picnic area
Up on the Fruška Gora ridge, the national park’s Brankovac picnic area has tables, shelters, a children’s playground and big meadows to run around in.

Short and safe
Easy walks with children
The quarry “cave” of Beli Majdan is ten minutes from the monastery. Older children can manage the walk to the waterfall.
