The natural monument „Mrkonjski vis“
The natural monument „Mrkonjski vis“ represents a physically distinct and recognizable geomorphological entity and belongs to the group of the most significant rocky peaks in Serbia. The top is a tectonically predisposed mountain pyramid – a spike. It is a refuge for a large number of species, which have found their refuge in the forest communities of black hornbeam and black ash, oak and hazel. 95 species of plants were registered with the presence of rich fauna. At the very top, specimens of the Greek frog were found, and in the lower areas, a large number of forest tortoises. In the wider area, 67 species of birds have been registered, and those of national and international importance are: black stork, turtledove, Syrian woodpecker, black woodpecker, honey buzzard, middle-spotted woodpecker, peregrine falcon, red-backed shrike, wood lark, common white and ortolan bunting.
