Danube Delta

The Danube Delta is Europe's new land, expanding by around 40 m2 each year. This remote and well-preserved corner of nature is an ideal habitat for wildlife. It has the world's third highest biodiversity, and humans continue to live here by following nature's laws and adapting to its demands. The only way to explore it is by boat, but a ride through these channels rich in flora and fauna will provide an unforgettable experience. You can rent a boat (quiet and small to avoid disturbing the animals) in Tulcea (the area's largest city) or one of the villages located in this water kingdom.

The Danube delta is heaven on earth for birdwatchers. Cormorants (including the rare Black pygmy cormorant), red-breasted geese, and white pelicans are among the birds to be seen here. It's enough to slide your finger across the channels to hear their sharp sounds and see them in the reeds. Large groups of ducks, geese, and swans will cross your path, and if you're lucky, you might see Dalmatian pelicans, Europe's largest birds. The Danube delta is home to over 330 bird species and hosts migratory birds during the winter. Bring your camera because there will be many surprises.
