After finishing my counting on the seepage channel I decided to visit a place that nobody expects to find in the middle of the alluvial forests. Forest steppe of Protected Reserve "Ostrov Kopáč" (Kopáč island) developed on the alluvial sediments that are embraced by old River Danube's river arm named "Biskupické rameno". It lies only few hundred meters from the seepage channel. Let's see how the landscapes changes in just 1km.
