Rakovac
Old quarry · also called Rakovac Cave
Beli Majdan
A quarried hall in the hillside above the monastery, its roof held up by pillars of stone the quarrymen left standing. Ten minutes on foot from the monastery.
Izvor Stari Majdan
Stari Majdan Spring
A stone-built spring right by the road that climbs from Rakovac to Zmajevac, 1.4 km before Zmajevac. Because it is next to the road it is one of the easiest springs on this side of the mountain to reach. The turn-off to the old Rakovac quarry is nearby. The flow can stop during long summer heat waves.
There is no official information on the water quality.
Editor's note: Add the other springs around Rakovac (Neven, Kamenolom) once their coordinates are checked on site.
