Fruška gora (Serbian Cyrillic: Фрушка гора) is a mountain in northern Serbia. Most of the area is administratively part of Serbia, but a small part on its western side extends into eastern Croatia. The area under Serbian administration forms the country's oldest national park. Sometimes it's also referred to as the Jewel of Serbia due to its largely pristine landscape and protection effort, as well as the Serbian Mount Athos, due to a big number of Orthodox monasteries.
