Little War Island

When construction of Novi Beograd began in 1948, the sand from the island was transported to the mainland by large conveyor belts and used for covering the swamp on which the new city was to be built.

The island is completely covered by vegetation (poplar trees) and inaccessible for visitors, but can be observed from the barges-restaurants on the Danube's bank.

Also, when travelling to the other side of the river for trade or supplies, the Prečani left their horses on the island.

It is entrusted to the management of the Public Utility Company Zelenilo-Belgrade and the Administration of the Municipality of Zemun.

[7] Together with Mali, the Great War Island has been placed under protection for the preservation of picturesque landscape features and undisturbed primary landscape values of exceptional importance for the preservation of habitats, natural rarities, rare and endangered wetland birds, and for the protection of the representative morphological and geological creation of the river island, which was created as the product of the fluvial phase in the bed facies, which has ecological, cultural-historical and recreational significance for the city of Belgrade.
