Back in 1949, Fruška Gora was declared a National Recreation Area in order to improve the complex as an excursion and resort area. In 1960, by a special law, the Assembly of the SR of Serbia granted it a higher level of protection and declared Fruška Gora the first national park in the country. According to the Law on National Parks from 2015, the area of Fruška Gora NP is 26,672 hectares. The first level protection regime covers an area of 933 hectares and includes 32 localities. There are 17,744 hectares under the protection regime of the second degree, and 7,995 hectares under the third degree.
