Fruška Gora National Park, National park in Vojvodina, Serbia.
Fruška Gora National Park is a protected area in Vojvodina, Serbia, covering forested hills and gentle valleys along the Danube. The landscape shifts between dense oak forests, open meadows, and vineyards that spread across several municipalities in the region.
Monasteries were built here between the 15th and 18th centuries, when the Orthodox Church sought refuge and spiritual centers in this area. Fossil discoveries in the rock layers reveal marine life from the Cretaceous period, when the region lay under the sea.
Vineyards cover many slopes and villages in the area, where local cellars grow grape varieties rooted in the region for generations. Walking trails pass through forests that turn bright colors in autumn, making the park a popular destination for hikers and cyclists.
The park administration is based in Sremska Kamenica, 15 km from Novi Sad's bus and railway stations and 50 km from Belgrade; Surčin airport lies 55 km away. Roads cross the ridge at several points and carry regular bus lines. Fruška gorski streams run highest in spring and late autumn and mostly dry up by midsummer, so plan walks accordingly.
The relics of Saint Theodore Tiro are kept at Novo Hopovo monastery; the sources describe them as the oldest relics of a saint in Serbia. The mountain's name preserves the ethnonym "Frug", meaning Frank, recalling the Frankish state's reach to these parts in the late 8th and early 9th centuries.
