Appearance and characteristics of the park
The Ponjavica Nature Park includes the middle course of the Ponjavica, which has preserved the characteristics of the watercourses of the plains and the coastal remains of wetlands.

The area of ​​the Ponjavica Nature Park is about 300 hectares, while the area of ​​the protection zone around Ponjavica is about 600 hectares. The island with an area of ​​slightly less than 1 hectare is considered, in terms of protection, as the most valuable area of ​​this park. The length of the Ponjavica stream, which is under protection, is about 10 kilometers. The change of forest greenery, shrubby trees and bushes, as well as the immediate vicinity of 2 settlements and weekend zones give a special quality to this type of ecosystem.
