Protected areas

The marsh located near to the village of Malak Preslavets is protected area. Its protection was announced by Order ¹ ÐÄ – 411 dated from April 28, 2004 of the Minister of Environment (promulgated in State Gazette, issue 48 / 04.06.2004).

Landmarks
Malak Preslavets marsh is located at 412th km near to Dunabe River, within 3-4 km away from the village bearing the same name, and about 20 km to the west of Srebarna Lake and is separated from Danube River by dike. Its east side is neighboring on agricultural lands, its south end is traced out by mixed wood, to the west there is a dike, which separates it from the river, and the north side is traced out by a road that leads from the village to the port. The marsh has a total area of 38.5 hectare. It is necessary to draw attention to its structure which is very much alike Srebarna Lake. There is a very interesting geological history about it. About a million years ago the north-east parts of the Danube plain already became a dry land.

The lake was formed on that land thanks to erosive activity of the quaternary river, which leached existing sends. They are unstable and non-cohesive, easily destructible and disposed to landslide and leaching. This process extends the river’s outflow and decreases the stream speed, and sands taken formed sandy hair. The marsh has a wide water mirror and a small flooding terrace, which increases when water increases.

Climate in this region can be characterized through a cold snowy winter, during which the marsh gets frozen. Summer is hot and dry and the marsh loses some quantity of its water. Due to the plain lay and wide bleakness to the north, cold winds blow without hindrance throughout the winter. The average temperature in January is about -22, -23 Ñ. There are high summer temperatures, but the average are between 22 and 26 Ñ, and the highest 35 - 38 Ñ. Rainfall quantity amounts to 560 mm. Prolonged mists are typical for the late autumn and early spring. A frost during the spring and autumn is among the non-periodical climatic phenomenon in this place.

At the present time, superficially water streams are the sources of water which supplies the marsh, probably also underground water. Its water surface is above the average level of Danube River. Its depth reaches 5 meters at its north-west part. The bottom slope near its south part reaches about 2 degrees, which causes sudden changes in the water area even upon thinly increasing of water. Around the marsh there are the vegetation species: Chicory, Borage, Red Clover, Lemna, Wolffia Àrhiza, Spirodela Polyrrhyza, Ceratophylum Demersum, Water Buttercup, Narrow-leaved and Broad-leaved Bulrush and there is the plant undoubtedly number one in the marsh – Madonna-lily. The bird world is the richest one during the spring and summer. There can be found: Long-maned Egret, Small and Big Egret, Heron, Dumb Swan, Chlidonias Hybridus. Throughout the whole year there could be seen: Reed Circus, Buzzard, Meadow Circus, Blackbird, Falcon, Fulica Àtra, whose presence proves the marsh water cleanness, Ferruginous Duck, Great Crested Grebe, Teal (Anas querquedula), Cormorant, Ardeidae, etc. Malak Preslavets marsh was announced to be a natural landmark by Order ¹ 310 from April 19, 1986 issued by KOPS. No investigation of the biological diversity is made within that region.
