The Suboticko - Horgoske area is a rather unique area in Serbia. The area stretches across the far north of Backa in the municipality of Subotica and occupies an area of 53.70 km². Today's undulating sand dunes are a result of the great movement of sand caused by excessive cattle grazing. The planned forestation of the Subotica Sands began in the late 18th century. Today's mix of forestland, steppes and swamps coupled with the banks of the river Kires, make this area the most vulnerable sandsteppe habitat of its type in Europe.
