History
The Dubrava reservoir — 17 km of impounded Drava behind Croatia's largest hydro dam — is a birder's stronghold: white-tailed eagles nest in the poplar fringe and rare black storks feed in the shallows. A gravel dyke road along the northern bank makes for a flat 30-km cycling loop back to Prelog.
“The reservoir was created in 1989 and quickly became one of Croatia's most important inland bird habitats.”
