Široka Bara
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Široka Bara (Serbian Cyrillic: Широка Бара) is a bog and also a suburban settlement of Belgrade, the capital of Serbia. It is located in the Belgrade's municipality of Palilula.
[edit] Bog
Široka Bara is an elongated bog in the floodplain of Pančevački Rit, on the left bank of the Danube. A small settlement of the same name is located on its northern tip. The name, široka bara, is Serbian for wide bog.
[edit] Settlement
Široka Bara is a sub-settlement of Vrbovski (and, as such, of Padinska Skela) located in the northern, Banat section of the municipality (Pančevački Rit), 22 kilometers north of downtown Belgrade. The settlement is located 5 kilometers west of Padinska Skela and the Zrenjaninski put road which connects Belgrade with the town of Zrenjanin, in Vojvodina.
It is a small settlement around the outer farms of the PKB Company. As farms were becoming more modern and communal infrastructure of the settlement was neglected for decades, population moved out leaving only a dozen of inhabited houses in the early 2000s.
