Access
After about 50 minutes drive from Belgrade, there are 3 main access points to the western borders of the Deliblato Sands Nature Reserve: Devojački Bunar ("Girl's Well"), Dolovo ("Valley Village"), and Mramorak ("Marble Pebble"). To access the entrance from Devojački Bunar, head to Vladimirovac village and follow ways to the northern P mark. To access the entrance from Dolovo, head to the Dolovo village and continue straight following ways to the middle P mark. To access the entrance from Mramorak, head to the village with the same name and follow the turn left to the southern P mark. Click on any P in the map to get directions or coordinates.
All three entry points are interesting in different ways, while Devojački Bunar is the most accessible and has the most tourist infrastructure, Dolovo and Mramorak are more productive for birding. There are many, many paths and sandy roads through Deliblato Sands, especially near the borders. Some suggested paths are drawn on the map, but feel free to explore additional paths (as seen on the satellite map) that lead to your preferred habitat, grassland, scattered bushes, low-deciduous forest, or agricultural.
