Bird-watching
Hundreds of species of birds call the Danube Delta home — at least from
late Spring until mid-Fall. Bird-watchers do not need any equipment
(although binoculars help), no licence is required, and there are plenty
of locations throughout the Danube Delta to watch fowl in their natural
habitat. Most bird-watchers are lucky enough to spot Black Pelican
colonies. Specialized tour operators such as Ibis
Tours will assure the most successful bird-watching trip to the Danube
Delta.
Camping
Get close to Romania's natural beauty by spending a few nights camping
beside one of its many rivers or one of its magnificent mountains. From
late Spring until early Summer nature lovers flock to Romania's camping
areas to enjoy an abundance of nearby attractions. For more information
on the 69 camping sites licenced by the Romanian Ministry of Tourism or to
request a camping site map, please contact the nearest Romanian Tourist
Information Office.
Cycling Tours
With a terrain that ranges from steep and challenging to gentle and
pleasant, Romania offers bikers of all skills and levels something to
enjoy along its bike trails. Magnificent scenery offered by trails
through woods or traditional villages invite bikers to stop quite often.
Fishing
With more than 160 species of game fish, the Danube Delta is truly a
fisherman's paradise. Trophy-size catfish, carp, pike, sturgeon and more
thrive in the hundreds of lakes and rivers that dot the land of Romania.
Fishing is permitted in any lake or river of Romania, year round, except
from April 1 until May 31.
