Fruška Gora monasteries and Sremski Karlovci
Fruška Gora – national park and mountain located 70 km from Belgrade and hosts 17 functioning monasteries of Serbian Orthodox Church, this is why it is known as the Serbian Mount Athos. Excellent geographical position, moderate climate and rich flora and fauna make this mountain special. Fruška Gora had a great influence on the development of Serbian spirituality and literature and Serbian State itself.
