The Danube Delta: The Birds’ Paradise from Romania

​Often described as a birds’ paradise, the Danube Delta is one of the biggest wetlands in the world and a UNESCO Natural Heritage Site. It’s the best-conserved delta in Europe and a must-see destination for birdwatchers and nature lovers.

The only delta in the world declared a Biosphere Reserve, this wonderful place has nearly 5,500 species of flora and fauna. Over 330 species of birds live in the Danube Delta which is also a major halting-place for migratory birds. Almost the entire world population of the red-breasted goose stays here during winter, along with large groups of swans, ducks, and geese.

The itinerary of your Danube Delta holidays will depend a lot on where you’re staying. Villages like Mila 23 and Crisan are great options but consider Sfantu Gheorghe as well, especially for its beautiful beach.

If you reach Sulina, don’t miss a boat trip to the lighthouse or a visit to the maritime cemetery. This is the best symbol of this small town’s cosmopolitan days in the 19th century.
