About the Area
The Danube delta was formed just 6,500 years ago in the when a cove Black Sea started filling up with soil carried by rivers. It provides a unique habitat of canals, reed beds, lakes, and ponds. The delta is still growing as it extends farther into the Black Sea at a rate of 24m per year.
More than 20 million people in Europe also get there drinking water from the Danube.
During its 2,800km flow, the Danube River runs through cities, valleys, and deep, wide gorges(canyon). Just before the Danube pours into the Black Sea, it splits into three branches, the Chilia, Sulina, and Sfântu Gheorghe.
The Danube delta is a home to many species that are dying out. It is home to about 330 bird species, including 70% of the world’s white pelican population and 60% of the world’s pygmy cormorants. Most of the European freshwater fish species (around 70 species) exist in the delta.
Rafts
There are lots of rafs in the Danube (especially in Belgrade), these are some pictures of rafts.
