The starting point for a Delta adventure is usually the city of Tulcea, almost as old as Rome, and situated close to where the Danube divides into the three main arms that create the wetlands. The furthermost place reachable by land road, in the heart of the Delta is the village Dunavatu de Jos. In Dunavat you will find the Egreta Hotel, the ideal starting point for your fishing, hunting, bird watching or sight seeing trips.

At the end of the great river Danube's 2,861 km (1788 miles) journey from the Black Forest mountains in Germany to Romania's Black Sea coast a natural paradise spreads out. Over countless centuries the silt brought down by the river has enlarged the Delta into a network of channels, lakes, reed isles, tropical woods, pastures and sand dunes that now cover nearly 5,640 sq km. (2,200 sq miles). This amazing wetland shelters over 300 species of birds, countless species of fish from royal sturgeon to carp and perch, while its 1,150 kinds of plants range from sinuous lianas in oak forests to water lilies.
