Location
Fruška Gora was an island in the former Pannonian Sea. Today, this 539 meter high mountain is the dominant land mass of the entire Pannonian plain. Its ridge is 75 kilometers long, and its entire surface is overgrown with oak, hornbeam, linden and beech forests. There are numerous springs and streams, which murmur most beautifully at the beginning of spring.
On this hiking tour of Fruška Gora in the spring, we will go from the Zmajevac picnic area, which offers an unusual view of the whole of Srem, to the Dumbovac waterfall, which is an authentic pearl of Fruška gora. Then we continue towards the unique Beli Majdan cave.
