Descrição

The Reva–Čapljin area offers several kilometres of grassy levee with the Danube backwaters on its southern side, with more than 150 bird species recorded so far (120 of them strictly protected species). Take a walk along the levee, overlooking the flood retention basin ponds, willow and poplar forests, as well as hybrid black poplar plantations.

Among the birds you can see here are Marreco, Zarro-castanho, Rola-comum, Maçarico-bastardo , Gaivina-de-faces-brancas, Cegonha-preta, Corvo-marinho-pigmeu, Garça-pequena, Papa-ratos, Pica-pau-sírio, Pica-pau-preto , Papa-figos , Felosa-pálida, Felosa-palustre , Bico-grossudo , Felosa-unicolor , etc. Four active nests of Águia-rabalva s are located in this and the neighbouring Reva Pond area, making this the highest population density of this species anywhere in Serbia! Of course, their foraging areas cover a much larger territory of tens of square kilometers each. Rarities spotted from this levee include Mergulhão-de-pescoço-ruivo , Águia-cobreira and even a Grifo-comum! Also, Roe Deer and Wild Boar can be seen in the area.

The Reva–Čapljin backwaters are a part of the international ecological corridor along the Danube River, as well as the “Confluence of the Sava and the Danube Rivers” Important Bird Area (IBA).

From the end of April, carry an insect repellent for mosquitoes.

Detalhes

Acesso

If you arrive by car, click on a P in the map for directions to a parking. No driving is allowed on the levee, only cycling and walking. Park in the shade by the pumping station, or at the end of the Reva Pond Road, climb the levee and explore further on foot. Right in front of the pumping station is a particularly good area, but you can also explore left and right. There is hardly any shade on the levee—carry plenty of water on hot days. Reachable with the city bus #108.

Please follow the top of the levee birding route (about 5 km). It is definitely not recommended to enter the basin itself, as wild sows with piglets can behave aggressively, and it is flooded in huge areas anyways.
