Most of the Danube Delta is located in Romania where, over the centuries, the Danube has created a wilderness of water, a labyrinth of tributaries, canals, lagoons, lakes, marshes and lowland forests: a wild, primeval landscape dominated by water.

The Danube flows across this natural paradise, almost three thousand kilometres to the Black Sea. Measuring four thousand five hundred square kilometres, the Delta acts as a magnet for migratory birds as it is a junction for six migration routes. Over ninety species of fish live in the Delta including sturgeon that are much sought-after due to their black caviar.

The summer months bring tropical temperatures with high humidity and the cold winter steppe climate can take the temperature down to minus twenty five degrees. It is then that everything freezes and the Delta ice becomes up to one metre thick.

Located on a huge sand bank, the dunes and forest area of Letea is particularly surprising.as it contains grass and numerous flower varieties.

Huge reed islands and dense jungle landscapes alternate with each other and provide a safe habitat for both flora and fauna. It is a world of untamed nature and remarkable transformation. An archaic landscape that is locked within time itself.
