Boat trip: Letea Forest
The largest sandbank in the Delta, with 700 hectares that have been a nature reserve since 1938, and its colonies of wild horses.
We leave from in front of the guesthouse along the Sulina branch, then along the Old Danube and the Magearu canal, as far as the village of Letea. Letea is the largest sandbank in the Danube Delta at 170 km², and the forest that carries its name covers 700 hectares and has been a nature reserve since 1938 — for its woodland growing in bands, called hasmacuri, and for the almost tropical look that the lianas and wild vines give it. The forest shelters colonies of wild horses.
From the village landing stage, the tour is run by locals in safari vehicles. It costs around 40 lei per person, plus 10 lei to enter the forest, and it is not included in the package.
