Caverna Beli Majdan

"Beli Majdan" (which means "White Quarry"), also known as the Rakovac Cave, is a stone quarry where granite stone was likely dug, probably since the Middle Ages, and used as building blocks for the nearby Rakovac Monastery, houses in the Rakovac village, as well as for tombstones at the local graveyard. By digging out granite blocks, a unique cave complex was formed, with 4-meter-high galleries supported by stone pillars.
During World War II, the "Beli Majdan" cave was used as a common hideout for the local population of the village of Rakovac and workers of the Rakovac quarry during raids organized by the occupiers.
This was also the case during the Great Enemy Offensive on Fruška Gora on August 28, 1942. Those who hid in the „Beli Majdan“ remained safe, whereas 58 workers from the Rakovac quarry were arrested.
The director of the Rakovac quarry, Ing. Josip Suić, intervened and managed to liberate 32 workers, but the rest were sent to the internment camp in Sremska Mitrovica, where most of them were killed.[This site is part of the Liberation Routes Hiking Tour "The Liberation Walk" (6km)]
