Roadbook
After visiting Ilok, the route descends from the cliff overlooking the Danube and re-enters Serbia, gradually entering the vineyards and foothills of Fruška Gora. These hills along the southern bank of the Danube are sometimes called the Frankish Hills, recalling the period when the Frankish Empire extended its influence to this region during the reign of Charlemagne.
Hidden among the folds of Fruška Gora are numerous historic Serbian monasteries, many of which survived the centuries of Ottoman rule and played an important role in preserving Serbian spiritual and cultural life.
