Beskrivning

Lonjsko Polje Nature Reserve is located along the Sava River. It is the largest still intact flood plain in Europe. Flooding can occur all year round, due to the unique location of the Sava and its tributaries, making the park an important buffer zone for the surrounding, inhabited areas. The unique micro-landscape of Lonjsko Polje provides an abundance of flora and fauna, with different types of marshes, meadows, forests and grasslands. An important element in the maintenance of the pastures is the livestock of the local farmers, such as the Possavina horses, an endangered species, of which there are only a thousand left. The Possavina horses roam freely in the area together with Podolac cattle, Turopolje pigs, the feral jackal, wild pigs and many other animals. The reserve has one of the largest breeding grounds of skedstork in Europe. It is a hardly developed tourism area. The world stopped here 50 years ago. Among the birds you can encounter in the area are skedstork, vit stork, svart stork, bronsibis, rallhäger, purpurhäger, Silkeshäger, Kohäger, natthäger, havsörn, mindre skrikörn, Brun glada, kungsfiskare, rördrom, mellanspett, gråspett, vitögd dykand, buskskvätta, halsbandsflugsnappare, skäggtärna and biätare.
