Mountains and monasteries await for those who’ve set their sights on some country wanderings. Fruška Gora (half an hour's drive) is the big peak around here, and the natural park around it is a fab place for a hike. Trails are signposted (look out for the heart shapes on the trees) and several swing by one of the park’s 16 lakes so you can have a swim. The area’s peaceful vibe clearly lends itself to contemplation, if the number of monasteries is anything to go by – Velika Remeta (45 minutes), Vrdnik (50 minutes) Jazak (55 minutes) and the stunning riverside Petkovica (an hour and 15 minutes) are all worth a visit if you’d like to get a bit of that for yourself. At least one day out in Novi Sad (20 minutes) should certainly be on the schedule too. If you only do one thing, climb up to the mighty Petrovaradin Fortress, which peers down from a 40-metre volcanic cliff, for Danube views and a tour of the creepy tunnels. With more time (a much better idea), visit the city’s art galleries, take a stroll on Fisherman’s Island and spend some time people-watching from the streetside cafés.
