Description
The fish farm is not operational, hence the entrance is free, without the need to ask for permission. Mala Vrbica wetland is what remained of the former floodplain of the Danube. Part of the area was turned into agricultural land (fields, vineyards, orchards, pastures), part remained under ponds, wet meadows and reeds, and a quarter become a carp pond (c. 200 ha).
