Donaudelta

River delta Nufăru, Tulcea, Romania

What to expect

The Danube Delta is the second largest river delta in Europe and the best preserved on the continent. It is located in Romania and Ukraine, with the majority of its surface area in Romania. The delta is a low alluvial plain, mostly covered by wetlands and water, with an intricate pattern of marshes, channels, streamlets, and lakes. It is home to over 300 species of birds and 45 freshwater fish species. The Danube branches into three main distributaries into the delta, Chilia, Sulina, and Sfântul Gheorghe, which form the Tulcea channel. The delta is a unique and diverse ecosystem, with a rich natural and cultural heritage

The Danube: Our travel companion from Regensburg to the Delta

This family's experience:

Activities: We went on a ferry and saw the wide river. We drove to the area that is considered the delta. We stayed in Murighiol and took a boat trip with a local guide, seeing many birds

Highlights: We explored the canals and passages of the Danube. We saw a lot of birds and even discovered some pelicans. We are slowly beginning to develop a feeling for the size of this gigantic habitat. The kids loved seeing all the birds and the boat trip ✨
