Fruška Gora National Park
Linden forests, wine slopes and Orthodox monasteries on a Danube island-mountain in Syrmia, Serbia
Fruška Gora rises from the Syrmian lowlands along the Danube, once an island in the Pannonian Sea, and is almost 90% forested, with the highest concentration of linden forests in Europe. Over a dozen Serbian Orthodox monasteries earn it the name Serbian Mount Athos.
