Zrinska gora ( Croatian for "Mountains of Zrin") is a mountain range in the Croatian Sisak-Moslavina County . It extends between the places Hrvatska Kostajnica and Brezovo Polje near the border with Bosnia and Herzegovina .

It is named after the noble family of Zrinski ( German from Zrin). The ruins of Zrin Castle are located above the village of Zrin .

The highest mountain in the range is the 615 m high Priseka, on the northern slope of which the Sunja , a right tributary of the Save , rises. Most of the mountains are densely forested, only around Lovača and Ljeskovac there are significant cleared areas .

Only the road from Jabukovac to Dvor crosses the mountains over a 467 m high pass, while it bypasses national roads 6, 47 and 30.
