Tour description:
We start the tour at 7:00 or 14:00 at the address from which you want our guides to pick you up. After that, we are moving to Fruška Gora. Fruška Gora, a former island in the Panonian Sea, is Serbia’s oldest National Park and and a true nature’s jewel. Dominating the surrounding Panonain Plain, it holds countless rare examples of plant and animal life and priceless cultural and historical legacy.
Fruška Gora is perfect for mountain biking as due to its natural beauty, convenient roads and no-traffic paths, Fruška Gora is a true paradise for cyclists. Most of the trails are marked and will guide you through the beautiful deciduous or coniferous forests, over pastures and meadows, connecting the natural and cultural attractions of this region. Almost any of our paths will take you to one of Fruška Gora’s 16 monasteries.
Based on your preference, our guides will choose from a wide variety of tracks, for different skills and technical experience – road paths or forest tracks with mild rises or extreme crossings over ridges and peaks. At all times, you can stop at a local hikers’ homes, for short brake or refreshment or while driving stop at sight points and experience exceptional nature’s scenes.
Fruška Gora is home to a Serbian MTB Marathon and also offers some extremely difficult and very technical tracks, designed for more professional riders, looking for high adrenaline experiences. And yes, we can take you there! The end of the tour is scheduled for 12pm if it is a morning or 17pm when it comes to the afternoon tour, at the address from which we started.

Overall, my cousin and I had a very enjoyable experience! Our guide picked us up promptly in front of our apartment, and immediately we were off to Fruška Gora. Once parked, we received our packs (a great backpack, water, and snacks for the day), and the bikes, which were comfortable and fit our sizes perfectly. The ride itself was fun: we were able to experience the park, and stop at one of the monasteries, which was stunning. We were also able to visit Sremski Karlovci. We were slightly disappointed that we couldn't visit a second monastery, and that we had to take a longer route back to the car, but this was due to recent inclement weather and warnings posted by the park rangers - therefore, it was out of the control of the company. In total, we both thought that this was a great way to see some of Serbia's most impressive sites, while also being active. Rather than sit on a bus all day, we were able to get out and actually explore! We'd definitely recommend both this tour and the company!
