About 40 km / 50 minutes north of Belgrade.

When you reach the main village junction in Baranda (marked by traffic lights), turn northeast and leave the village behind. For the main lakes west of the road (on your left) you need permission from the fish farm manager (the management building is the last one on the right hand side), but for the salt marshes east/right of the road you are off the hook and may explore freely (carry plenty of water on hot days).

Yet, these salt marshes are threatened with conversion into a solar power plant. Of the total recorded species of birds there, 77 of them are in the Red Book of Birds of Serbia, 29 are protected and further 153 are strictly protected species, 175 species are on the annexes of the Berne Convention, and 105 species are on the annexes of the Birds Directive.

Provide information on how to enter this site, which may include:
