Descripción

Deliblato Sands Nature Reserve is so conveniently close to Belgrade city that you can choose to go only for the morning and to be back by noon, or to spend the entire day in the sands. Covered by grazing pasture, steppic habitats, woodland, scrub, conifer plantations, vineyards and agricultural land, the Deliblato Sands Important Bird Area and a Special Nature Reserve comprises an elongated tract of sand, spreading from the Danube River northwest towards Vladimirovac and Banatski Karlovac villages. More than half of the area of Deliblato Sands is now overgrown with planted forest of Locust Tree, Austrian Pine and Scots Pine. Juniper is the only conifer indigenous to the area. It was gazetted as a nature reserve in 1977.

About 180 bird species have been recorded here, among them Guión de Codornices, Chotacabras Europeo, Culebrera Europea, Abejero Europeo, Busardo Moro, Águila calzada, Aguilucho Cenizo, Abejaruco Europeo, Autillo Europeo, Abubilla común, Torcecuello Euroasiático, Pito Real, Pito Cano, Alcaudón Dorsirrojo, Alcaudón Chico, Cogujada Común, Alondra Totovía, Bisbita Campestre, Curruca Gavilana, Oropéndola Europea, Ruiseñor Común, Picogordo Común, etc. Generally, the best birding is in ecotones where forest meets grassland, and wherever there is any source of water.

Other wildlife is characterized by species of steppe habitats. When butterflying Deliblato Sands and nearby Labudovo Okno Reserve, look out for Southern Festoon Z. polyxena, Clouded Apollo P. mnemosyne, Danube Clouded Yellow C. myrmidone, Large Copper L. dispar, Green-underside Blue G. alexis. Forests are inhabited by Red Deer, Roe Deer and Wild Boar. Mammals also include rarities like Ground Squirrel, Mole Rat and Steppe Gerbil - all of them highly threatened.

Be sure to bring at least a litre of water per person. You can restock at petrol stations, but do not count on village shops with their erratic opening hours.

Accesso

The best access roads are from Vladimirovac village (north) to Devojački bunar area (in the arable fields en route, look out for the highly localised Terrera Común), from Deliblato village (west) to Čardak area, and from Šušara village (east) into surrounding areas. Šušara is reachable from Izbište village; and not from Deliblato, as suggested by Google Maps. Do not try to drive the Deliblato to Šušara “road”, unless you are driving a Hummer or similar! Zoom in on the map and click on the "P" (parking) sign for driving directions.

If driving along an unpaved road (99%), be extra careful not to start a wildfire by an overheated exhaust pipe! Also, don’t damage the sensitive steppe vegetation by driving at will: follow only the existing dirt tracks and be careful not to get lost, nor stuck in the sand.

Información extra

For several days, your best option is the Kaštel Marijeta (Mariette) Guest House in the Šušara Village (eastern side, from Pančevo towards Vršac till Uljma, then right to Izbište, and right again to Šušara; 100 min from Belgrade), in and around the village offering Autillo Europeo, Picamaderos Negro, Oropéndola Europea, Alcaudón Chico, Cogujada Común, Golondrina Dáurica, Curruca Gavilana, Bisbita Campestre, Escribano Cabecinegro, Escribano Hortelano, etc. (see the links below).

On the other hand, the Čardak area (southwest side, from Pančevo, through the villages of Dolovo and Mramorak to Deliblato, and then to Čardak; 60 min from Belgrade) could be the most suitable for short, morning visits because of its closeness to Belgrade and the network of marked walking trails (check the map among the photos), followed by excellent Turkish coffee and fresh muffins in the local restaurant (see the links below).
