Beskrivning
Observe from the main Djerdap magistral road, stopping at the few vantage points which permit scanning across the vast Danube surface. In winter, a spotting scope is necessary.
In winter you can expect bergand, salskrake, storskrake, småskrake, knipa, storlom and smålom, svarthakedopping, dvärgskarv, bläsgås, sometimes svärta. While you are near the Golubac fortress, check the nearby rock faces and quarries for murkrypare. Finally, to find a few more duck species, plus the blå kärrhök and brun kärrhök, visit the more narrow section of the river upstream from the village of Vinci. Avoid windy days – the birds will be looking for cover away from the bank.
In spring, those formidable cliffs are known to hold alpseglare (resembling kids screaming on a rollercoaster), Eurasian klippsvala, Rostgumpsvala, and klippsparv.
A strong easterly wind is common in the area, which can make birding challenging.

The first known record of the Golubac Fortress comes from the early 14th century. It changed hands repeatedly until the mid-19th century, when it was turned over to the Serbian Duke Mihailo Obrenovic III.
