Description
The area was part of an EU LIFE project where non-indigenous spruce plantations have been removed and the meandering course of streams restored until 2014. Since then, the clearcut areas have been developed under natural succession and represent an interesting mosaic of semi-open dry and swampy habitats. The surrounding forest was partially damaged by 2007 windstorm "Kyrill" and thus also contains clearings and semi-open windthrow areas.
Seven species of woodpeckers can be seen and heard along the trail (Crna žuna, Siva žuna, Zelena žuna, Veliki detlić, Srednji detlić, Mali detlić and Vijoglava). Other interesting forest birds include Šumska šljuka, Crnovrata muharica, Šumski zviždak, Vatroglavi kraljić, Planinska siva senica, Jelova senica, Ćubasta senica, Krstokljun, Drozd imelaš and Mala sova. The semi-open patches provide habitat for Šumska trepteljka, Rusi svračak, Grlica, Cvrčić tršćar, Brezov zviždak, Crnoglava travarka and Strnadica žutovoljka. Gavran and Crna roda are visitors. Along the river, Vodomar, Vodenkos and Potočna pliska can be encountered.
