Hutovo blato Bird Reserve
Hutovo blato Bird Reserve is marshland, created by the underground aquifer system of the Krupa River. It is fed from the limestone massif of Ostrvo that divides the Deransko and Svitavsko lakes.
The reserve is the largest of its kind in this part of Europe, in terms of both size and diversity. It is home to over 240 types of migratory birds and dozens that make their permanent home in these sub-Mediterranean wetlands surrounding Deransko Lake. In the migration season, tens of thousands of birds fill this lake and its surroundings.
Birds Two species of global conservation concern breed at the site, Ferruginous Duck (Aythya nyroca) and Pygmy Cormorant (Phalacrocorax pygmeus). Other breeding species include Cormorant Phalacrocorax carbo, Bittern Botaurus stellaris, Squacco Heron Ardeola ralloides, Night Heron Nycticorax nycticorax, Little Egret Egretta garzetta and Purple Heron Ardea purpurea.

Skakavac waterfall can be seen from the look-out point this seventy five metre plus waterfall is dwarfed by the massive blanket of green trees that cover the valley. The Sutjeska River has carved a stunning valley through the middle of the park and divides Zelengora (Green Peaks) Mountain from Maglic and Volujak Mountains.
