Bird watching in Romania in Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve – short break
Bird watching in Romania is at its best in the Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve. The Danube Delta is Europe’s largest wetland reserve and one of the best places in Europe for bird watching, covering 2,681 square kilometers (1,676 square miles), with a sprawling, watery wilderness accessible only by water. This area impresses its visitor with its numerous contrasts, as you can find here Europe’s youngest land – more than 43.7 square meters (47 square yards) being added each year by normal silting action – as well as the oldest mountains of Romania. The delta is a natural stopover for migratory birds. Danube delta contains more than 300 species of migratory and permanent species of birds.
