Balta Suhaia

Balta Suhaia is a nature reserve in the Danube floodplain covering wetlands, meadows, and peat bogs. The area provides habitats for numerous water-dependent plant and animal species.

The area received official protected status through a government decision in 2004. This action aimed to safeguard the species and habitats found there for the long term.

The name refers to the local term for wetland and holds meaning for nearby communities who depend on these waters. Residents in the area recognize the reserve as a place that needs protection and incorporate this respect into their daily relationship with the landscape.

The reserve is accessible via the DN51A road connecting Turnu Măgurele to Zimnicea. Parking areas and observation points are available around the wetlands.

The reserve attracts several bird species including white-headed ducks, slender-billed gulls, and little egrets. This importance as a bird habitat led to an international protection classification for the area.
