It is now an open bog with numerous water-filled peat engravings surrounded by a bog forest in the area of former industrial use. The nature reserve is also an important habitat for birds. There are various waders such as Velika carska šljuka and Barska šljuka as well as ducks like Plovka kašikara, Krdža, Grogotovac and Ćubasta patka. Also many Šumska trepteljka, Livadska trepteljka and Crnoglava travarka. Eja močvarica and Veliki svračak can be found too. The moorland area is good for Ždral which are now breeding here again. In the wooded moorland areas you can find various woodpecker species and Rusi svračak and many songbirds.
