This video is about our unforgettable trip to the mesmerizing Danube Delta in Romania during the summer of 2024.
This journey was filled with stunning landscapes, serene waterways, historical sites, and incredible wildlife. So, buckle up and join us as we take you through our experience, from our cozy accommodation at Orizont in Mahmudia to our enthralling boat trip on the Danube Delta's canals and our exploration of the ancient Enisala Citadel.
1. Accommodation Orizont Mahmudia
Let’s start with our accommodation - the charming Orizont in Mahmudia. Nestled right at the edge of the Danube Delta, Orizont is a perfect blend of comfort and nature.
The rooms at Orizont are spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated with a touch of rustic charm that complements the natural surroundings. We had a cozy room with a balcony that offered a breathtaking view of the lush greenery and the tranquil waters of the Danube. Waking up to the sound of birds chirping and the sight of the sun rising over the Delta was truly magical.
Orizont offers a range of amenities to ensure a comfortable stay. There's a lovely outdoor pool where we enjoyed a refreshing swim after a day of exploring. The on-site restaurant served delicious local cuisine, with fresh fish dishes being the highlight. We also had the opportunity to rent bikes and explore the nearby areas at our own pace.
What made our stay at Orizont truly special was the attention to detail and the personal touch provided by the staff. They were always ready to help with any queries and even provided us with insider tips on the best places to visit in the Delta. If you're planning a trip to the Danube Delta, we highly recommend staying at Orizont for a comfortable and memorable experience.
The Magical Canals of the Danube Delta
The highlight of our trip was undoubtedly the boat trip through the Danube Delta’s intricate network of canals. This three-hour journey was a feast for the senses, offering us a glimpse into one of Europe's most biodiverse regions.
As our boat glided through the narrow canals, we were surrounded by lush vegetation and a symphony of bird calls. The Delta is home to over 300 species of birds, and we were lucky enough to spot pelicans, herons, and kingfishers, among others. The sight of flocks of birds taking flight over the water was absolutely mesmerizing.
The diversity of flora and fauna in the Danube Delta is astounding. We saw water lilies floating serenely on the surface, while the banks were lined with reeds and willow trees. Our guide pointed out various fish species and even a few turtles sunbathing on logs. The tranquility and beauty of the Delta made it feel like we had stepped into another world.
One of the most memorable moments was when we navigated through the narrowest canals, where the branches of the trees formed a natural archway above us. It was like entering a secret passage, with the sunlight filtering through the leaves and casting a magical glow on the water. This part of the trip was truly enchanting and a testament to the untouched beauty of the Delta.
3. A Journey Back in Time: Enisala Citadel
No trip to the Danube Delta would be complete without exploring some of its historical sites, and the Enisala Citadel is a must-visit. Located on a hill overlooking the lakes Razim and Babadag, this medieval fortress offers not only a glimpse into the past but also breathtaking panoramic views.
The Enisala Citadel dates back to the 14th century and was built by the Byzantines and later occupied by the Genoese. It served as a strategic military and commercial outpost due to its commanding position. Walking through the ruins, we could almost feel the echoes of history and imagine the bustling activity that once took place here.
4. Final Thoughts and Reflections
Our trip to the Danube Delta in Romania was an extraordinary adventure that combined nature, history, and relaxation in the most delightful way. From our comfortable stay at Orizont in Mahmudia to the magical boat trip through the Delta's canals and the exploration of the ancient Enisala Citadel, every moment was filled with wonder and discovery.
If you're planning your next travel adventure, we highly recommend adding the Danube Delta to your list.
