    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.

      I wasn't planning going this way but I was tired of heavy traffic on the main road over Fruska Gora so I took detour. Glad I did!
      Zmajevac is popular recreation area visited by many lovers of good hiking and biking.
      Trails are well marked and there are plenty of picnic tables. Huge zip line, stretches for kilometres, operates in the summer season. In late September wasn't much happening but nature was stunning. Fall colours were just coming on.
      Happy trails!
