In the serene garden of Calin's house, our gracious host in Crisan, the morning sunlight gently kissed the earth, casting a golden hue over the landscape. As the first rays of dawn caressed the horizon, my wife and I began our adventure on the final day of our journey in the Danube Delta. Our last destinations awaited: Little Obretin Lake and Uzlina Lake. The gentle embrace of the Danube guided us forward, its waters shimmering under the soft light of morning. Each bend revealed nature’s artistry, with lush greenery lining the banks and offering whispers of serenity. We drifted into Little Obretin Lake, where the stillness seemed to echo the harmony of the universe. Lily pads floated like emeralds, their vibrant blooms painting the surface with delicate hues. For a moment, time itself seemed to pause, inviting us to breathe in the tranquil beauty of this hidden gem. Our journey continued through the Isac Channel, a tranquil corridor where water and sky met in perfect symmetry. The reeds swayed in a gentle rhythm, as though welcoming us into their sanctuary. We found peace in the simplicity of it all—a quiet that leaves an imprint on the soul. Uzlina Lake awaited with serene majesty. White and yellow water lilies, pristine and elegant, floated on its calm waters, a testament to nature’s quiet strength. The reflections on the surface blurred the line between reality and dreams, immersing us in a landscape of pure wonder. As we approached Murighiol, its rustic charm embraced us warmly. From there, we boarded our tour bus and continued to Tulcea, a town where history whispered through cobblestone streets and modernity hummed gently in the background. Each moment felt like a page from a well-loved book, vibrant and alive. We are still in awe of the wonder we have just witnessed—the sheer immensity of the water. The Danube Delta spans over 1,550 square miles (4,000 square kilometers), making it 3.3 times larger than New York City total area. This vast area of natural reserves includes both permanent and temporary ecosystems. The Danube Delta’s natural reserves are truly a testament to the beauty and resilience of nature. Its vast expanse of water, teeming with life, and its vibrant ecosystems remind us of the delicate balance that sustains our planet. It’s a place that inspires awe and a deep appreciation for the natural world. The interplay of water and land creates a landscape that feels almost otherworldly, where time seems to slow down. Whether exploring its labyrinth of waterways by boat, marveling at the vibrant bird colonies, or simply soaking in the tranquility, the Danube Delta offers an experience that lingers in the heart and mind. The sight of birds in flight, the gentle rustle of reeds in the wind, and the kaleidoscope of colors from its flora create an impression so profound that it’s impossible to forget. Finally, Bucharest came into view—a city pulsating with energy and stories. Its mix of ancient elegance and contemporary spirit offered a fitting crescendo to our journey. From tranquil waters to bustling streets, this voyage painted a masterpiece of contrasts...

Die Natur und die Ruhe war ganz wunderbar. Die Bootsfahrt gefiel uns ausgezeichnet und wir konnten auch den einen oder anderen Bewohner im...
Read moreDelta Dunării, un loc frumos dacă iubești natura. Faună și floră interesantă și frumoasă. Peisaje superbe. Păcat că omul a intervenit cam mult și a cam stricat peisajul defrișând multe din plantele de pe maluri si chiar tăind mult din maluri. Multe șalupe care merg cam prea repede și cred că afectează mediul. Dar chiar și așa, ce a rămas tot...
