Beschrijving

The Čardak area (60 min from Belgrade) could be the most suitable hotspot for short, morning visits to the Deliblato Sands Nature Reserve because of its closeness to Belgrade and its network of marked walking trails (trail driving is prohibited!), followed by excellent Turkish coffee and fresh muffins in the local restaurant.

Local birds include Zomertortel , Arendbuizerd , Hop , Draaihals , Middelste Bonte Specht , Kleine Bonte Specht , Boomleeuwerik , Braamsluiper , Zwarte Roodstaart , Europese Kanarie , Grauwe Gors , etc. Generally, the best birding is in ecotones where forest meets grassland, and wherever there is any source of water (usually an artificial concrete watering hole for deer).

More than half of the area of Deliblato Sands is nowadays overgrown with planted forest of Locust Tree, Austrian Pine and Scots Pine, inhabited by Red Deer, Roe Deer and Wild Boar.

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.

Details

Toegang

The Čardak area is reachable from Belgrade through Pančevo and the villages of Dolovo and Mramorak to Deliblato, and then 7 more kilometres to Čardak.

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.

The multi-functional centre, surrounded by clearly marked trais (3.5 to 15 km), with information panels, resting places and monitoring watchtowers (3) along the way, gives opportunity to spend a good quality time in nature to pupils, students, and especially to the experts in biology.
