If someone asked me what I expected from the landscape of Vojvodina, the answer would certainly be - the plain. Colorful arable land crossed by a winding river. Fishermen on the river. A lonely farmhouse in the shade of branched walnut trees. Old well in fiery red twilight. All kinds of things, but certainly - the plain...
However, here in Vojvodina, in the middle of the Banat, on the very edge of Deliblatska peščara, a completely different picture was tucked away. As if the sandstone itself is not unusual enough, on its edge are nested hills whose appearance is, to say the least, different. On the edge of the sandstone, modest and hidden from prying eyes, unsightly at first glance, stretch the beautiful and marvelous Zagajička hills.
It was created by the slope shaping the sand of Deliblatska peščara into huge, hundreds of meters high dunes. The same wind refined them and covered them with a thin layer of earth, on which today grows rich grass and the occasional solitary tree. The Zagajica hills are completely different from anything seen in Vojvodina. I read somewhere the expression 'green dunes of the Pannonian Sea' and it best describes the unusual appearance of these hills.
(This is only a part of my story about the Zagaica hills. I hope to publish all my writings one day. Until that day, bits and pieces will come out in various places and at different times... just to see how it sounds after a while)
