What the visit looks like
After pickup, we travel to the monasteries. On the journey and during visits, Božidar connects their history with Orthodox tradition. The order and time at each stop can adapt to road conditions, services and monastery rules.
Velika Remeta
Ванилица · CC BY-SA 4.0 Velika Remeta stands among the monasteries of eastern Fruška Gora. Local tradition associates its foundation with King Dragutin, but this should not be treated as a securely established date. Written evidence naming the monastery comes from the 16th century, including a document from 1562. Its church is dedicated to St Demetrius.

The Baroque bell tower, built between 1733 and 1735, is a striking feature of the complex. It recalls the rebuilding of Fruška Gora's monasteries under the Metropolitanate of Karlovci. Fragments of 16th-century wall painting also survive in the church, offering a glimpse of an earlier artistic layer.
Start by looking at the tower, then take time to notice the church itself. Velika Remeta offers a useful introduction to the distinction between local tradition, documentary evidence and surviving buildings. A visit also provides an opportunity to approach the monastery as a living place of prayer rather than solely a historic monument.
Krušedol
Manedj · CC BY-SA 3.0 Krušedol was founded in the early 16th century by St Maksim Branković and his mother, St Angelina. The church is dedicated to the Annunciation to the Mother of God. After the loss of the medieval Serbian state, foundations such as this became important centres of faith and historical memory in Srem.

The monastery is also a burial place of prominent figures, including Patriarchs Arsenije III and Arsenije IV, Princess Ljubica and King Milan Obrenović. Destruction in 1716 was followed by extensive rebuilding. The church's medieval form and later Baroque layers reveal how monastic art developed over time.
During a visit, look at the wall paintings and the iconostasis, whose icons date from different periods. The tombs connect Krušedol with migrations, ruling families and church history. Rather than simply listing dates, its story allows us to consider how one monastery helped sustain a community through profound change.
Grgeteg
Manedj · CC BY-SA 3.0 Tradition attributes Grgeteg's foundation to Despot Vuk Branković, remembered in Serbian epic poetry as the Fiery Dragon. Reliable Ottoman records mention the monastery from 1545. The present church dates from the 18th century, while rebuilding around the turn of the 20th century substantially shaped its appearance.

A particular highlight is the iconostasis, with icons painted by Uroš Predić in 1901–1902 during a restoration designed by architect Hermann Bollé. A copy of the Three-handed Mother of God icon, brought here in 2002, expresses the monastery's spiritual connection with Hilandar on Mount Athos.
Grgeteg appeals both to visitors interested in Serbian painting and to those coming for prayer. Its iconostasis provides a starting point for discussing how an artist depicts saints, while the Three-handed icon introduces Orthodox icon veneration. Allow time for a quiet visit and follow the monastery's instructions.
