The Danube Delta - a wild land
From an ecological point of view, The Danube Delta is quite unique in terms of scenery, landscape and habitat. The Danube Delta is situated in the North-East of Dobrujda and is shaped by The Danube as it flows in to the Black Sea.
Together with the seaside Plain where we find the Razim Lagoonal Complex, the delta has a surface of 4,340 Km2, containing a network of channels, lakes, islands, forests and sand dunes.
From a touring point of view, the delta is one of the most attractive and valuable regions in the country and is considered by many as a paradise of fauna. Also, there are over 300 species of birds and the area boasts the biggest colony of pelicans in Europe. There are over 150 species of fish (carpet, pike, perch, sheat-fish, sturgeon – famous for their black spawns) and this moved UNESCO to declare the Danube Delta “ a reservation of the biosphere” (RBDD).
There are various reasons for visiting the Danube Delta. For some, it is the amazing landscape, its’ isolation and peace; for others it is the magnificent fishing. Either way, it is a sight to behold and if peace, tranquility and fishing isn’t for you, then you’ll be pleased to learn that the beautiful beaches provide much enjoyment and seldom suffer from overcrowding.
