Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve: Essential Highlights

The Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve is a UNESCO World Heritage site and Europe’s best-preserved river delta. Spanning over 5,000 square kilometers, it hosts 300 bird species and vast reed beds. This selection highlights the region's historical depth, including the Greek colony of Histria and the 14th-century Enisala Fortress. It also features the transport hubs of Tulcea and traditional 'cherhanas' serving local fish specialties like Lipovan soup in villages like Sfântu Gheorghe and Crișan.
