Balta Ialomiţei

Balta Ialomiţei is a river island located between two branches of the Danube in Ialomitza County. The island contains agricultural land, wetland areas, and pastures bordered by the Borcea and Dunărea Veche waterways on either side.

The island was originally covered by marshes and natural forests, but was gradually transformed into farmland through centuries of human modification. These changes were made systematically to make the territory suitable for agriculture.

The island contains multiple ecological zones where various water birds nest and feed within the remaining natural wetland sections.

The A2 highway crosses through the island and provides access to different sections of the territory. Spring months bring seasonal flooding that affects certain areas, so timing your visit accordingly can help avoid travel difficulties.

The island serves as a haven for diverse water birds that nest and feed within the remaining natural wetland sections. These bird populations rely on the patchwork of water and land for their survival and seasonal migrations.
