The southern border is bounded by the final, navigable section of the Begej before it empties into the Tisa followed by the Belgrade-Zrenjanin road, while to the north are the vast Ečka fishponds, the largest in Serbia. Entire bog belongs to the municipality of Zrenjanin. Even though it is located in the triangle of large cities Belgrade-Novi Sad-Zrenjanin largest cities in Serbia, Vojvodina and Serbian Banat, respectively, all settlements in the vicinity of Carska bara are smaller ones, ranging from 1, 500 to 6, 000 inhabitants.
