Balta Albă, Nature reserve in Buzău County, Romania.
The protected area spans 1,167 hectares across Buzău and Brăila counties, featuring a natural lake surrounded by peat bogs and grasslands.
The site received official protection status through Law Number 5 in March 2000, marking a significant step in Romanian environmental conservation efforts.
The reserve serves as a critical point along a 5000-kilometer bird migration corridor stretching from Romania to Lake Tanganyika in Africa.
Visitors can access the reserve via National Road DN22 connecting Buzău to Brăila, with observation points located around the lake perimeter.
The lake contains specific chlorinated, sodic water with sapropelic mud that has been used for medical treatments since 1847.
