About Fruška Gora National Park
Half an hour from Novi Sad, Fruška Gora became Serbia’s first national park in 1960: a long, wooded ridge rising above the Danube like a green island. Fossil shells and corals recall the days when it was an island in the Pannonian Sea, and today more than a thousand plant species grow here, including some 30 kinds of orchid. Monasteries such as Krušedol and Novo Hopovo dot the woods, marked trails suit walkers and cyclists of every level, and vines have been grown since Roman times. Stop at the park’s information centre at Iriški Venac, and taste the herb-scented bermet.
