It is slippery and quite dangerous during the rain and after. It was very hard to climb the rock next to the waterfall when it was wet, and there are steep hills on the routes to the waterfall. Be careful.

Rakovac Monastery was founded in the 16th century and was burned to the ground by the Ottoman army during the Great Turkish War in 1687. It was completely renewed in the first half of the 18th century. The monastery had valuable wall paintings (frescoes), as well as an important library of manuscripts and books. In 1941, the Ustasha expelled most of the priests, monks, and other inhabitants of the monastery. Other monasteries of Fruška Gora shared the same fate during the occupation. Some valuable objects and books were saved by curators from the Museum of Arts in Zagreb, who organized an expedition to collect and preserve the rich heritage of the Fruška Gora monasteries. Most of the other inventory was pillaged by local administrators installed by the Ustasha government. The monastery was mostly deserted and completely destroyed on October 20, 1943, during the raid on Rakovac village conducted by Anton Bauer. The church and auxiliary buildings were blown up with dynamite. The monastery was completely renovated after the war. However, only scarce parts of the original walls and fresco paintings from the 18th century can be seen today.
