Exploring the Danube Delta

Exploring the Danube Delta

The Danube Delta is perhaps the least inhabited region of temperate Europe with a population density of about 3 inhabitants per square mile. Little Sulina with its 4,600 inhabitants is the local metropolis and we will take a short walking tour of the town. The Lighthouse is the famous historical monument of the area, however, it is now far from the sea. At the end of the walking tour we will visit Saint Nicholas Orthodox Church and learn a little of this predominant religion in Romania.
Your Land Adventure by boat in the Danube Delta begins from the pier at Sulina. Along small canals, you can admire the wildness and the unique fauna of the Delta. The Danube Delta is the youngest land in Europe (it grows larger by 40 yards of land every year). A low alluvial plain, mostly covered by wetlands and water, it consists of an intricate pattern of marshes, channels, streamlets and lakes. The average altitude is 0.52 m, with 20% of the territory below sea level. The sand dunes on the coast are the highest point of the delta. It is one of the largest and most compact reed areas in the world (almost 1,000 square miles), a place with the richest ornithological fauna in the world (over 250 species), a combination of natural and man-made ecosystems. Also in the delta there are islands of old forests with subtropical species of vegetation rare for this part of the world. In this natural paradise you can see a large variety of bird species, such as pelicans, heron, swan, and wild duck. The fauna of this water is very rich in fish like carp, plaice, codfish, perch, pike, and sander. A snack will be served onboard the excursion boat. We will sail through the secondary canals on the way back to the city of Sulina and your SeaDream Yacht.
