Serbia’s Fruška Gora National Park has introduced an entrance fee system, charging 100 dinars (approximately €0.85) for pedestrians and 300 dinars (about €2.55) for motor vehicles. The new policy, authorized under Serbia’s Law on Fees for Public Goods Usage, aims to support environmental protection efforts in the protected area.
Park officials have introduced annual passes as an alternative for frequent visitors, with a 600 dinar (€5.10) pedestrian pass and a 1,200 dinar (€10.20) vehicle vignette available. These options primarily target daily commuters and regular park users.
While four crossing routes currently remain toll-free (Irig-Sremska Kamenica, Vrdnik-Rakovac, Beočin-Bešenovo, and Sviloš-Ležimir), park management plans to install payment stations at all entry points in the future. The collected funds will support ongoing park improvements including trail maintenance, landscaping, and visitor facility upgrades.
“The fees allow us to continue investing in infrastructure and services to enhance visitor experiences while protecting this natural treasure,” explained Dragan Vidović, assistant director of Fruška Gora National Park. The implementation follows similar models used in protected areas worldwide, balancing public access with conservation funding needs.
The move represents part of broader efforts to modernize Serbia’s national park management systems and ensure sustainable tourism development in ecologically sensitive areas. Park authorities emphasize that revenues will be directly reinvested in maintenance and protection of Fruška Gora’s unique biodiversity and cultural heritage.
Key Details:
- Daily pedestrian fee: 100 dinars
- Daily vehicle fee: 300 dinars
- Annual pedestrian pass: 600 dinars
- Annual vehicle vignette: 1,200 dinars
- 4 routes currently exempt (with future toll implementation planned)
The fee structure aims to make nature conservation a shared responsibility while maintaining reasonable access to one of Serbia’s most visited natural attractions.
