„European Sahara" - Deliblaticum
According to its origin Deliblato sands represents a unique phenomenon in Europe. It originated during the Ice Age out of powerful layers of Aeolian silicate- carbonaceous sand. Free sand used to be a great problem, because under powerful wind košava it was scattered throughout wide area of the Pannonian basin. Therefore Deliblato Sands was called "European Sahara" or " the oldest desert in Europe". Afforestation of the sandy terrain begun at the time of Maria Theresa.
The wind Košava has formed explicit dune relief with altitudes between 70 and 200 meters. Moderate continental climate, absence of surface watercourses and sandy soil brought about specific environments that were segregated into a separate flora and geographical area - Deliblaticum. Deliblato Sands is the greatest European continental sandy terrain and it is situated in South Banat between the Danube and western slopes of the Carpathians, along regional road between Belgrade and Timisoara.
