Danube Delta (Romania)

The Danube Delta is situated in Dobrogea, Romania on a surface of 5050 km and it


is both the second largest delta and the well preserved delta in Europe.
It is crossed by the three branches of the Danube: Chilia, Sulina and Sf. Gheorghe,
which bring with them some unknown species of plants, animals and birds which
can be seen just in the Danube Delta.
The fauna includes some bizarre and unprecedented species of animals and birds of
which more than 360 species of birds. Some birds which can be seen there: geese,
eagles, skylarks and also the largest colony of pelicans outside of the African. The
Danube Delta has more than 45 species of fish: silver crucian, striped perch, grig,
Amur pike.
The flora of the Danube Delta consists mostly of wetland vegetation (reed, bulrush,
sedge mixed with willow) and occupies 78% of the total of the delta. The blanket of
white lilies on the Danube gives a feeling of being in a dream, because of this pure
white of the lilies above the yellow-green water which is fading with the azure blue
sky. There is creating a symphony of colours.

The climate of the Danube Delta is a specific one for the regions with semiarid
climate, and thats why the temperatures are highs ones in the summer season. In
the winter the low temperatures comes with white and fluffy snow and cold wind
which gives you the feeling that you are cut by thousands sharp knives.
Even if the Danube Delta is a region known for its natural environment and for its
originality in the world, can present a lot of touristic attractions in some ancient
times and places as: Argamum Citadel- Orgame, an archaeological site located in
the eastern county of Tulcea or the old churches built in 1869- The Ortodox Church
Announciation , or the Azizyie Mosque built in 1863.
The region of the Danube Delta is original in the world for its fauna, flora and
environment defined by colour, shape and the imagination of the nature which gives
to this region a fairytale flow.
