It is cool to see but I would be very careful going up there. The wooden steps are starting to rot and already some of them have collapsed. Please be careful I wouldn’t recommend going up the steps in the ruin at all.

A breathtaking view of Ledinačko Lake (Ledinačko jezero), nestled deep within a steep canyon. The emerald water contrasts vividly with the rugged cliffs and dense forest, creating a hidden gem perfect for hikers and nature lovers.

This path is quite steep and goes straight up, the second path over the road (then after 300m up into the forest) is a bit longer but much more comfortable and newly laid out with wood chips

Rakovac Monastery was founded in the 16th century and was burned to the ground by the Ottoman army during the Great Turkish War in 1687. It was completely renewed in the first half of the 18th century. The monastery had valuable wall paintings (frescoes), as well as an important library of manuscripts and books. In 1941, the Ustasha expelled most of the priests, monks, and other inhabitants of the monastery. Other monasteries of Fruška Gora shared the same fate during the occupation. Some valuable objects and books were saved by curators from the Museum of Arts in Zagreb, who organized an expedition to collect and preserve the rich heritage of the Fruška Gora monasteries. Most of the other inventory was pillaged by local administrators installed by the Ustasha government. The monastery was mostly deserted and completely destroyed on October 20, 1943, during the raid on Rakovac village conducted by Anton Bauer. The church and auxiliary buildings were blown up with dynamite. The monastery was completely renovated after the war. However, only scarce parts of the original walls and fresco paintings from the 18th century can be seen today.

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.
