Prerasts of Vratna (Serbian: Прерасти Вратне, Prerasti Vratne) or Vratna Gates (Serbian: Вратњанске капије, Vratnjanske kapije) are three natural stone bridges on the Miroč mountain, two in the vicinity of the medieval Vratna monastery, and the third farther away into the depths of the Vratna river gorge, in Bor, eastern Serbia.^[1]

Stone gates of this type are rare. Similar ones can be found in Slovenia, France and in Colorado, in the United States. It has been declared a geomorphological natural monument and placed under the state protection in 1957.^[1]
