At this location, fighters of the Fruška Gora Detachment met with political workers and activists from the surrounding villages. From the summer of 1942 until the end of the war, various conferences and mass events, such as May Day celebrations and the anniversary of the October Revolution were held at “Jabuka,” named after the wild apple tree. During the Great Enemy Offensive on Fruška Gora in 1942, “Jabuka” served as a refuge for people from surrounding villages, and it was here that partisans who had fallen in 1942 were buried in a mass grave. Nearby, a communal kitchen and weapons depot were located, and “Jabuka” occasionally served as a base for the Main Headquarters of Vojvodina, the Allied Military Mission, and rear military organs. In September 1944, the 8th Vojvodina Brigade was formed at “Jabuka.” It was mostly composed of renegades from the Croatian “Homeguard” units from the Petrovaradin fortress. The memorial complex "Jabuka" is part of the Fruška Gora memorials designed by architect Milorad Berbakov. According to art critic Bela Duranci, "Jabuka" is "a unique example of harmonious interpolation of memorial content into untouched nature while preserving the magical effect of that space." As the central point of the memorial, Berbakov chose an existing wild apple tree, after which the site was originally named. Around the apple tree, a circle is shaped from which paths lead to other segments—partisan graves and inscriptions, crafted from oak logs and local stone.

This lake, being an easy-to-access area is a nice place for a picnic and stuff. However, the water in the lake is murky (as expected for any body of water in a swamp), and I personally wouldn't bath in there.

The original Zhezel Bridge (377 meters long) was over an arch bridge built between 1957 and 1961. It was designed by the eminent Yugoslav civil engineer Branko Zhezel and was constructed by Mostogradnja. It connected the urban area of Novi Sad and Petrovaradin. During its existence, it served as part of an international railway line and as a transit route through Novi Sad. Original bridge damaged in 1999 (before complete destruction a few days later) During the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia, the bridge was bombed 12 times. On 23 April 1999, it was finally destroyed, disrupting rail transport between Belgrade and Subotica, ie [3]. During the NATO bombing, all three major bridges over the Danube in Novi Sad (Zhezel Bridge, Varadin Bridge and the Freedom Bridge) were completely destroyed. In 2000, a temporary Road-Railway Bridge was built near Zhezhel Bridge to serve as a replacement for Zhezhel Bridge until a new one was built. Over the years, the construction of the new Zhezel Bridge has been postponed several times. Construction work on the new bridge on the same site officially began in April 2012. The main designer of the new bridge was Alexander Bojovic, and the contractor was an international consortium, JV Azvi - Taddei - Horta Coslada. The new bridge is visually similar to the destroyed bridge, except that the arches are made of steel and not prestressed concrete. The bridge consists of two arches, the larger being 219 meters (719 feet) long and 42 meters (138 feet) high, and the smaller 177 meters (581 feet) long and 34 meters (112 feet) high. 7] In October 2017, the arches of Zhezel Bridge were connected after five years of construction and eighteen years after the demolition of the previous bridge. As of October 2017, the construction works amounted to EUR 51.71 million. The bridge was completed in April 2018 and regular rail transport was established. The transit of the vehicle was established on September 1, 2018. Encyclopedia site: bg.wikiqube.net
