TOURISM - THE DANUBE DELTA

• 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 paradise.
• Some 15,000 people inhabit the Delta area, living in 28 villages and one city (Sulina).
• The area was first attested by Herodot of Halicarnas (484 – 425 B.C.).
• More then half of the Delta Biosphere Reserve is virtually intact
• The Danube River is the most international river on the planet - its course runs across — or forms a part
  of the borders of several countries: Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, Romania, Bulgaria, Ukraine,
  and four capitals: Vienna, Bratislava, Budapest and Belgrade.
