About this place

The Danube Delta is one of the world's most important wetlands and the second largest delta in Europe. Where the Danube meets the Black Sea, it forms a vast network of channels, lakes, riverine forests, and sandbars, providing a vital sanctuary for over 300 bird species and diverse aquatic life.

Exploring the Delta revolves around its waterways. Boat trips navigate lily-covered channels leading to impressive pelican colonies and remote villages like Mila 23, Sfantu Gheorghe, or Sulina, where fishing traditions remain strong. In addition, the Letea Forest, known for its ancient oak trees and wild horses, presents a unique contrast to the surrounding marshes.

Whether you choose a quiet rowing excursion, early morning birdwatching, or sampling a traditional fish soup, the Danube Delta offers an immersive natural escape.
