Brankovac Picnic Area
Good for kids
Brankovac is a picnic area managed by the national park, in the central part of Fruška Gora on the road between Zmajevac and Crveni čot. On one side there are benches, tables, shelters and a children’s playground. On the other side are open meadows, the “Beočin meadows”, with a broad view north over the plain.
Two trails lead north from here: one to the Dumbovac waterfall and the “Dupček path” to Beočin Monastery. A third trail goes south to Jazak Monastery.
By car from Rakovac, follow the road up past the monastery to Zmajevac and turn west along the ridge.
Editor's note: Check the drive time from Rakovac and the state of the playground.
