Trips in the Danube Delta

If you choose a trip on autumn in the Danube Delta, you can admire how the birds leave their nests and fly in flocks. They can be seen above the delta offering an amazing spectacle to the tourists that visit this place. Now they get ready for the big migration!
The birds who leave later, already have their nestlings grown up and we can see them. Maybe you didn’t know, but the pelican nestlings can be seen only in autumn. In September, the pelicans teach their nestlings to fish and how to fly.

The spectacle of nature

The water lilies are at their second blooming after the heat of august. Now we can see the most spectacular sunrises. Nothing compares with a sunrise, especially seen from the water. The images created by the light of the sun reflected between the mists which raise early in the morning from the water, along with the rustling of the reeds, the birds’ song and the tinkering of the fish … you will be excited by the spectacle of the nature in autumn!

Autumn is the most anticipated season by the fishermen, when the fishing rods always get out of the water with a catch. If you wish to catch a lot of fish species, the perfect period to go fishing is September – November. The lowering of the water temperatures determines the fishes to eat more and often, getting ready for winter. The first hoarfrost will also determine the loss of grass from the lakes, making it perfect for the pike fishing games.
