Former island of Pannonean Sea, nowadays Fruška Gora Mountain is spread along the 80 km of ranges between the Danube and Sava Rivers, over the southern part of Srem in Vojvodina with the highest peak Crveni Cot (539 m). For its exceptional flora and fauna, rare nature spots and cultural-historical monuments Fruška Gora is declared the National Park of Serbia. Large areas are covered by woods ( linden-trees, oak trees, beech, willows...) fruit gardens and vineyards. The National Park Fruška Gora is considered as a site of a very special natural beauties and cultural-historical monuments. The area of 25.000 hectars within the National Park is a real treasury of flora and fauna. Due to its geographical position, there can be found orchids and conifers, as well as variety of animal species: roe deers, rabbits, wild boars, eagles etc. Thanks to tectonic movements in the whole region of the Pannonian plain, at its southern part, the Danube River modified Fruška Gora Mountain determining its position. Northern part of Fruška Gora was omitted by the Danube flow due to non-tectonic movements. Two river beds were formed then : together they could constitute todays Danube course. Western part lies between towns of Sarengrad and Sid and it represents the leveled rising grounds with the elevations of 200m high. Due to the fact that Vojvodina is covered with less, the most spreading soil types are mold and saline. Mold soils range about 60% and are extremely fertile. It is mostly used for growing wheat, maize, sugar beet, sunflower, soya and other industrial crops as well as the major plants for cattle-breeding. Over Fruška Gora slopes there are rich linden and oak forests. At lower sides of Fruška Gora forests are mostly rooted up and now there are pastures, vineyards, meadows and orchards. Fertile soil, plenty of waters and mild climate contribute to very extensive wine-production in Fruška Gora. Every year in September the famous Wine Festival starting with grape harvesting is held in Sremski Karlovci.
Light slopes, old natural sights with living fossils, plenty of waters within forests that cover about 90% of the National Park, rich vineyards and old monasteries, draw attention of many visitors, nature-lovers and scientists.
