A wild land – The Danube Delta
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 Dobrudja and is
shaped by The Danube as it flows in to the Black Sea. Together with the seaside
plain, where we find the Razim Lagoon 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 made UNESCO 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.
THERE ARE NINE TOURING AREAS FOR EACH OF US
In the Danube Delta there
are 9 touring zones, all with a wide variety of natural attractions, which
charm the tourist at every step:
- The Letea-C.A Rosetti touring zone with
accommodation in Sulina or in more rural locations. - The Chitila-Pardina touring zone with
accommodation in Chitila; - The Mila 36-23 touring zone
- The Matita-Bogdaproste touring zone;
- The Gorgova-Uzlina touring zone
- The Rosu-Puiu touring zone
- The Razim-Dranov touring zone with the Murighiol
touring complex and Jurilovca hotel; - The Grindul Lupilor-Chituc touring zone where
accommodation can be organized in the locals own homes; - The seaside touring zone with accommodation in
Sulina and Sfantu Gheorghe.
The Danube Delta, dominated by the river’s waters and the many channels and
lakes that complete the aquatic landscape, has only a few of its surfaces on
land, (represented mostly by sand banks) and its where the small communities
appeared. The most important rural localities are here: Chitila Veche, Sfantu
Gheorghe, Sfistofca, C.A. Rosetti, Mila 23, Pardina, Periprava, Caraorman etc.,
which later became touring centers.
The small villages, scattered here and there, offer the tourist a typical
Dobrudja landscape, with small houses covered with thatch. The friendly locals
are always willing to share with you the wild land of the delta, providing you
with sculling or motor boats in which you can enjoy the diversity of vegetation
and fauna. Along the way, you will encounter floating islands of vegetation
with pelicans, ospreys, or maybe even foxes or the enot dog in full view. You
can stay in motels, guest houses, in the interesting floating hotels or in the
locals’ own homes.

Relaxation-Accommodation says:
Grindul Lupilor Pension has been opened during summer 2008 and has an excellent positioning, being the entrance gate towards the sand bank with the same name. If you are willing for a trip into bank`s thicket or fishing into the waters of neighboring channels and lakes. Great place for watching the birds and vegetation of this are which is pretty unknown to people. http://www.grindul-lupilor.ro/cazare.php?limba=Engleza
