Gajna Nature Reserve
A protected landscape, Gajna is a typical Slavonian Sava valley pasture with
abundant swamp animal and plant life situated east of Slavonski Brod close to the
villages of Oprisavci i Poljanci. |

Gajna has several alluvial depressions that are
filled with water during spring and autumn floods thus enabling regeneration of
the swamp flora and fauna. This contributes to the lateral canal which cuts
through Gajna in its western part and conveys the water gathered on the Dilj gora
mountain to the river Sava and the Gajna swamps.

While today attention is mostly
being drawn only to negative anthropogenic impacts on nature, Gajna represents
a unique example in Croatian of positive impacts of human influence on the
environment, which has not only ensured supply of fresh water for cattle watering
but has facilitated development of wildlife.
