Natural rezervation access point

This access point leads to a protected area featuring sand dunes, forests, and wetlands where many plant and animal species live in their natural setting. The reserve spans different landscape types that together form a complex ecosystem.

The Letea Forest reserve was established in 1938 as Romania's first protected nature area, safeguarding ancient oak woods. Creating this reserve was a step to protect the delta's unique landscapes for the future.

Local guides share knowledge about nature and wildlife that has been passed down through generations in delta communities. This understanding shows how closely the people here have lived with the rivers and wetlands around them.

Visitors need official permits from the Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve Authority to enter the protected areas through this gate. Planning ahead and obtaining proper documentation makes it possible to explore these spaces.

Here, sand dunes meet forest ecosystems, creating conditions for rare plant species that inhabit this edge zone. This blend of two different environments is what makes this place ecologically special.
