It is the largest preserved wetland in Serbia (17 km²), protected since 1955 for its biodiversity, with 250+ bird species. It was a royal hunting refuge during the Austro-Hungarian era.

Spring (March-May) and autumn (Sept-Oct) are ideal for migrations. July-August are good for resident birds. Early morning hours offer the most activity.

The main trails have limited accessibility (compacted dirt paths). The Visitor Center and main viewpoints are adapted. Contact +381 23 581 444 in advance for more information.
