Descripción

Kurjačka Greda is located in the western part of the Koviljski Rit nature reserve on the Danube riverbank, only 7 km from Novi Sad city center. Although very near to the city, when you come here, the feeling is that you are lost in the wetland, far away from civilization.

The scenic trail "Ritska Staza" ("Wetland Route") winds through meadows and reeds around several ponds with birdwatching towers and birding covers placed at strategic locations. Then it makes a full circle along the Danube river bank, with the sandy island "Koh Chang" sitting between the riverbank and Petrovaradinski Rit (Petrovaradin Wetland) across the Danube.

On this route through varying mosaic habitats, many wetland birds can be seen, like Garceta Grande, Garceta Común, Porrón Pardo, and Cerceta Carretona, but also the birds of forest habitats, like Cigüeña Negra and Picamaderos Negro.

As this location is relatively rarely visited, do not be surprised if a pair of Pigargo Europeos starts checking who is intruding on their territory.

If the time of the year is right and you are lucky, Aguilucho Cenizo will be circling above one of the many meadows.

Accesso

Reaching Kurjačka Greda can be tricky, but that has some advantages: the area is very well preserved, and you are likely to be the only one on the route.

Head to the Šangaj (Shanghai) suburbs of Novi Sad, passing by Novi Sad refinery along the way. After leaving the Šangaj suburbs, make sure to turn right on the first crossroad towards the Danube river embankment (this turn is easily overlooked).

When at the embankment, turn left and continue downstream. Halfway through this embankment road to Kurjačka Greda, you can see a breeding colony of Garza Real on the right-hand side. After 5.8 km, of which the last 2.7 km is an unpaved road, you reach the Kurjačka Greda entrance (on the photo bellow), where the circular trail begins.
