The mighty Danube River flows 1,788 miles from its springs in
Germany’s Black Forest to the Black Sea. Just before reaching
the sea it forms the second largest and best preserved of
Europe's deltas: 2,200 square miles of rivers, canals, marshes,
tree-fringed lakes and reed islands. The Danube Delta is a
wildlife enthusiast’s (especially a bird watcher’s) paradise.
Travelers can spend three or more days exploring its passages,
teaming with the highest concentration of bird colonies in all
of Europe. The maze of canals bordered by thatch, willows and
oaks entangled in lianas, offers the perfect breeding ground for
countless species of birds, some of them from as far away as
China and Africa. Millions of Egyptian white pelicans arrive
here every spring to raise their young, while equal numbers of
Arctic geese come here to escape the harsh winters of Northern
Europe. »»» Image by Romeo Huidu - www.romeohuidu.com Each image
