Beschrijving

Kraljevac Lake was created when a dam was built collecting the water from several streams flowing down from the Deliblato Sands formation. As the sandy formation is some tens of meters higher than the surrounding plains, these streams have formed characteristic cuts at the edge of the sandy terrace, called 'surduks'. These cuts are now filled with water forming the long and winding Lake Kraljevac, surrounded by reeds, grassy hills and pastures, sandy cliffs, and arable lands. The lake is also characterized by floating peat islands, created when departed peat from the lake's bottom pops up to the water's surface. Although most of them are now rooted and fixed, it still happens that new peat islands are born.

Common birds species include Kwak, Ralreiger, Wilde Eend, Witoogeend, Snor, Grote Karekiet, and Kleine Karekiet. A breeding colony of Bijeneter is in the sandy cliffs just above the north bank of the lake, while empty houses in the village may host Steenuil. Three swallow species present in the broader region can be found here too: Boerenzwaluw, Huiszwaluw and Oeverzwaluw. At the northeast bank of the lake lies Deliblato village. In the park around the church Putter, Groenling, and Huismus are common.

Extra info

The north side of the lake is more accessible, nicer, and bird-rich. Also, many fishing spots - doubling as observation points - are scattered along the north bank of the lake. There are two watch towers on the hills overlooking the lake. They are good birdwatching spots, but also feature a breathtaking panorama of the lake and Deliblato village.
