Location

The village is located on the northern part of Fruška Gora mountain. It has only one asphalt road: to Sviloš in the west, across the hill, approximately 2 km (1.2 mi); and two dirt roads to Banoštor in the north, next to the Tekeniš stream. Grabovo is approximately 220–280 m (720–920 ft) above sea level.

Grabovo is one of the most isolated villages in Beočin municipality, and also in the region. Bus No.84 connects the villages of Grabovo and Sviloš to Lug, Beočin and Novi Sad; it operates only on work days: three times a day to Grabovo (from Novi Sad via Beočin), and once a day from Grabovo.

gollark: Right now I'm actually working on a web UI for the system it logs "incidents", i.e. people uninstalling it, disk signature validation errors, banned programs being run, sort of thing.
gollark: It comprises thousands of lines of bizarrely written code which does... stuff, and things. It kind of works like a fuzz tester for emulators and stuff because it does bizarre exotic things it possibly shouldn't and exposes bugs in things.
