One of the most frequent activities in national parks is walking. For people in a park, whether visitors or residents, walking routes and paths are the only authorized access to many places, and at the same time a way of limiting and channeling human presence in the wildlife sanctuary that a national park is intended to be. Walking activities in national parks vary, as do those walking, who follow different agendas and plans. Walking is movement, and “places in the first case, are actually constituted by the movements to, from and around them” (Ingold & Lee 2006, 76). Much walking takes place in Mount Fruška National Park (Serbian: Nacionalni park Fruška gora) in Vojvodina, Serbia, and many become acquainted with it through walking. The park covers a ninety-kilometer mountain range rising above the flat Vojvodina landscape and extending in a roughly east-west direction along the right bank of the Danube.
