“KRALJEVAC” SPECIAL NATURE RESERVE

“KRALJEVAC” SPECIAL NATURE RESERVE

The ‘Kraljevac’ Special Nature Reserve extends across an area that was once part of the Pannonian Sea, where wind activity formed a loess terrace into which the extensive valleys of the Spasovina, Obzovik, Mramoračka River and Kraljevac springs were carved through river erosion. In 1983, the watercourse was transformed into Kraljevac Lake through the construction of an embankment and an overflow dam. The resulting rise in the water level led to the flooding of the surrounding marsh forests and cultivated land, as well as the detachment of peat from the lakebed, resulting in the formation of floating and permanent islands.

In 2003, at the initiative of the ‘Deliblatsko Jezero’ Sports Anglers’ Association from Deliblato, the Provincial Institute for Nature Conservation issued a Decision on the Preliminary Protection of the natural area of Kraljevac Marsh, together with Vašarište and Obzovik (‘Official Gazette of the Republic of Serbia’, No. 112/2003). In 2006, the protected natural area was included in the pan-European Emerald Ecological Network, together with the ‘Deliblato Sands’ Special Nature Reserve, with which it forms a single biogeographical region, pursuant to the Bern Convention on the Conservation of European Wildlife and Natural Habitats (Resolutions Nos. 4 and 6). In 2009, by a decision of the Government of the Republic of Serbia, the ‘Kraljevac’ Special Nature Reserve was placed under state protection as a natural asset of exceptional importance, Category I (‘Official Gazette of the Republic of Serbia’, No. 110/2009). The ‘Deliblatsko Jezero’ Sports Anglers’ Association was appointed as the reserve’s manager. It is responsible for maintaining the internal rules of the reserve and organising the ranger service.
