Iriški Venac · Fruška Gora National Park
Fruška Gora National Park Information Centre, Iriški Venac
The visitor centre of Fruška Gora National Park stands on Iriški Venac, at the crossing of the main road over the mountain and the ridge road. In early November 2026 it is closed.
Closed for reconstruction
On Monday, 2 November 2026, the centre was closed and fenced off. By phone the park confirmed that it is closed for reconstruction and that for now the fee can only be paid online. A park employee on site said there is no reopening date yet and that a temporary container office is promised here during the works, also without a date. For advice in person, go to the park management in Sremska Kamenica, Zmajev trg 1 (on the map).
Iriški Venac is the main crossroads on the ridge of Fruška Gora, where the M-21 road from Novi Sad to Irig crosses the ridge road (Grebenski or Partizanski put). When open, the centre has a natural-history exhibition, a hall for talks and the park’s guide service, and it is the in-person payment point for the park fee (park website).
The fee board
| One day | Year | |
|---|---|---|
| Visitors on foot | 100 dinars | 600 dinars |
| Motorcycle, car | 300 dinars | 1,800 dinars |
| Van, car with a trailer | 500 dinars | 3,300 dinars |
| Bus, truck | 700 dinars | 6,600 dinars |

The board cites the decision in the Službeni glasnik RS no. 6/2024 and 121/2025 and says that day tickets are sold by the park’s nature wardens and annual ones in the Information Centre. Its day prices for buses and lorries (700 and 1,700 dinars) are older: since the decision was amended on 30 December 2025 they are 800 and 2,000; since 5 November 2026 there is also a pass of up to one hour (100 dinars for a car). Current prices and exemptions: Fruška Gora park fee.

From the park’s price list: the exhibition costs 50 dinars under 12, 100 from 12, 200 for a family; bicycles 300 dinars an hour, 1,000 for 6 hours, 1,500 for 24 hours; sleds 300 a day; a guided walk with a park expert 9,000 dinars for a group of up to 20.
Also at the crossroads
A large board with a map of the park lists 19 monasteries, 16 wineries, lakes, springs, mountain lodges, picnic areas and viewpoints with their map squares. Near Rakovac (square A8): Rakovac Monastery, the Beli Majdan cave, the mountain lodges Železničar, Dr Radivoj Simonović and Crveni čot, the Gradina archaeological site and Popovica. Next to it stand the “Kiosk na vencu” snack bar and a souvenir and information stand; early on that Monday both were shut.
