Other Site Characteristics

The area includes the lower course of the Mura river from its entrance to Međimurje County near the Čestijanec to the mouth with the Drava river (without the mouth). It stretches along the northern border of Međimurje County toward Slovenia and Hungary. River Mura is the northernmost Croatian river. It springs in Austria at 1898 m above sea level and flows through Austria, Slovenia, Hungary and Croatia. In Croatia it has a length of about 70 km and is a largest left tributary of the Drava river. Mura has fluvio-glacial regime and its water level depends on the melting of glaciers in Austria and on the amount of rainfall throughout the basin countries through which it passes. The river system includes many valuable riparian forests, gravel shoals, meanders, backwaters, oxbow lakes and gravel pits. Mura river flooded area is surrounded by mosaic of grassland and agricultural land. Mura river is a part of the Significant landscape of the Mura river, Regional Park Mura-Drava and of transboundary UNESCO Biosphere Reserve Mura-Drava-Danube. Lithostratigraphic units represented in this area are holocene alluvial deposits (gravels, sands, silts and clays). The flow is characterized by numerous gravel shoals and backwaters. It is a flooded area with presence of fluvial process. Dominant soils are fluvisol, luvisol on loess, humofluvisol, marsh gley partially hydromeliorated.

4.2 Quality and importance

- only site for species Anisus vorticulus in Continental region, one of three sites in Croatia for this species - although the habitat is under anthropogenic influence, the population of Coenagrion ornatum on the site is quite large, and is estimated as more than 10000 individuals. The site is of great importance for the conservation of Coenagrion ornatum in the Continental Biogeographical Region - because of the excellent conservation, the site is of great importance for the conservation of Ophiogomphus cecilia in Croatia - important site for Bombina bombina - important site for Emys orbicularis - important site for Lutra lutra and Castor fiber - important site for fish species: Cobitis elongatoides, Romanogobio vladykovi, Romanogobio kessleri, Romanogobio uranoscopus, Misgurnus fossilis, Umbra krameri and Zingel streber - site with occurence of habitat type 6510 - important site for 9160, As Carpino betuli-Quercetum roboris "typicum" - important site for 91E0, As Salici-Populetum nigrae - important feeding and roosting site for Barbastella barbastellus, Myotis bechsteinii and Plecotus austriacus
