Zmajevac Viewpoint, Fruška Gora National Park
Highlight • Viewpoint
This viewpoint offers a view of the southern slopes of Fruška Gora, with the Vrdnik Tower visible on a nearby hill. The tower is a remnant of a 14th-century fortification destroyed during the Turkish conquests in the 16th century.
Although no extensive archaeological research has been conducted, indications suggest that the medieval fortress may have been built on older foundations, possibly dating back to the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius Probus (3rd century AD), who was originally from this region.
Beyond the foothills of Fruška Gora, the plains of Srem stretch southward for about 30 kilometers to the Sava River, which marked the boundary between the Independent State of Croatia (NDH) and occupied Serbia during World War II. Although the anti-fascist movement had significant support in most villages of Srem, and despite the villages being well connected with alternative route networks, the plain presented challenging terrain. The greatest threats came from larger cities like Ruma and Sremska Mitrovica, as well as key roads and the heavily guarded Belgrade–Zagreb railway, where fascist units, bunkers, and armored trains were stationed.

Rakovac Quarry Partisan School Memorial
Highlight • Historical Site
The quarry was a state-owned stone mine for the extraction of trachyte stone. Its modern exploitation started in 1937.
After the occupation in 1941, the quarry was placed under military control and came under the command of the local Ustasha organization. The director of the quarry, engineer Josip Suić, had a pro-Yugoslavian and anti-fascist orientation, as was the case with most of the workers in the quarry. Suić opposed the violent methods of the Ustasha in Rakovac village and the miner's colony. He had constantly been writing letters to higher authorities and to the Ministry of Public Works in order to prevent the oppression conducted by the Ustasha and German troops in Rakovac quarry. In this way, he managed to save the lives of many locals, including those of numerous partisan activists and supporters. He also succeeded in removing the military commander of the Rakovac quarry, Josip Milanković (who subsequently committed suicide), and installing a new commander, Dr. Melvinger, a staunch supporter of the partisans.
Although the quarry was owned and run by the Independent State of Croatia, the place became a significant stronghold for the partisans. The workshop of the quarry was used for the repair of partisan weapons, served as a hideout for the ill and wounded, and, after the villages of Ledinci and Rakovac were burned in 1943, many homeless villagers were assisted by the quarry administration. They were given jobs (real or fictitious), as well as a place to live and eat. By the end of 1943, the quarry had established a partisan school for children from Ledinci and Rakovac, as well as the first pioneer organization.
Workers from Rakovac quarry did not just help the partisans. From the beginning of the war, more than 50 workers joined the partisan units, and 25 of them died in combat. Additionally, 17 workers fell victim to fascist terror in Rakovac.

Kamenolom Memorial Complex
Highlight • Monument
At this site, in September 1941, the first two partisan units were formed in the village of Rakovac. The first unit was established on September 19, 1941, in the shelter of the communist Nikola Mojić and in the presence of the first commander of the Fruška Gora partisan detachment, Sima Relić. The second unit, composed of workers from the Rakovac quarry, was formed on September 24. On that occasion, both of these units took the ceremonial "partisan oath".
After the war, this date was designated as the Day of the Uprising in Rakovac. Rakovac also remembers October 18, 1943, when a punitive expedition led by Anton Bauer arrived in the village. After two days of arrests and terror, they set fire to the entire village, including the Rakovac monastery.
Three decades later, a memorial complex was erected, dedicated to the "Partisan Oath" and to the fallen fighters and victims of fascist terror. Near the road is a small plateau with an architectural composition made up of five concrete walls of different sizes and shapes. The walls were decorated with plaques that had been stolen in the past twenty years.
One of them bore the verses written by the poet Mika Antić: "At this place in September 1941, the heart of Srem pounded with the beat of the Revolution."
Behind the entrance plateau is a stone wall with a tunnel-like shelter. Above the shelter is a mosaic created by the eminent artist Boško Petrović. After the death of Josip Broz Tito in 1980, another mosaic featuring Tito's portrait was added above the entrance to the shelter. On the inner wall of the shelter is the inscribed text of the Partisan Oath to remind visitors of this event. Within the complex is also a crypt and memorial tablets inscribed with the names of the fallen fighters and victims of fascist terror in Rakovac.
