Know Before You Go

The Danube Delta is a naturalist’s paradise. A maze of lakes and channels snaking through groves of thatch and willows, it is the biggest wetland in Europe. Wild and rich in wildlife and flora, its booming biodiversity is the third greatest in the world. From the quiet waterways and sleeping fishing villages to the early morning birdwatching excursions and the wild beaches where the Danube River finally reaches its destination, the Danube Delta is a must-see for any nature lover.
