Description: 
Throughout history, between the shifting courses of the Sava, Drina and Zasavica, through the Macva Plain, opposite the town of Sremska Mitrovica, there has been a swamp nurturing all manner of unusual flora and fauna. Te changing landscapes coupled with the wealth of plant and animal species, traditional way of river life and an historic heritage dating back to ancient times – all offer visitors the chance to experience Zasavica’s attractive and unique year-round atractions. Moreover, the rare and unusual residents of Zasavica give the area “specifc weight” as a special nature reserve. Te River Zasavica empties into the Sava, but is supplied by the cold waters of the Drina. Tese conditions are ideal for the Mud minnow (Umbra krameri), the symbol of Zasavica. Te reserve’s waters are home to more than 250 species of algae and attract 38 per cent of all amphibians and reptiles in Serbia.
