Danube Delta: bike and boat

One of the last natural paradise of Europe

By bike and boat along the Danube: there is no better way to explore the river delta. Come with us to Romania to the legendary Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve, one of the last untouched paradises in Europe: floating reed islands, inland lakes, lagoons, gentle hills, marsh and prairie. You can also enjoy Romanian hospitality in 4-star guest house and a national cuisine on the hotel boat. At lunch time picnics are organized or lunch packets prepared. Your bike tour manager guides you through the hilly Danube Delta on flat, unpaved, sand and gravel roads and also on well-paved roads (sometimes with little traffic).

Hotel and Ship Inn:
Look forward to a combination of hotel ship and guest house. You'll stay five nights on a small, comfortable river boat and two nights in Tulcea in a 4-star guest house. The home offers a nice restaurant, air conditioning in the living room and spacious sun decks. For about 20 guests deck chairs and booths (approximately 9 qm) with shower/WC are provided.

4. day Gulf of Musura 23 km
Along the Musura Bay you are cycling on simple side roads through the birds' paradise up to the picturesque village Letea where time seems to stand still. Nearby the village, located on a sand bank you find a tropical jungle. Take your time and explore creepers and vines. After that it is time to re-embark: your hotel boat is waiting for you in the nearby fishing village Crisan.

5. day Boat trip Danube Delta
Look forward to an extended boat trip through the branched channels, past small fishing villages. Marvel at the incredible diversity of flora and fauna. Now you'll understand why this spot is a UNESCO world heritage site. Hidden completely in the jungle you can find the Orthodox wooden monastery Stipoc. In the afternoon you'll leave this unreal world of dreams and return for the night back to your hotel boat.

Today you'll cycle to different monasteries in the area of Dobruja, a gently undulating landscape and border region between southeast Romania and northeast Bulgaria. Visit the venerable convent of nuns Celic Dere with its intriguing icons. Slightly up and down you'll cycle to the sleepy Monastery of Saon - idyllically set amongst vineyards, located on the banks of the Danube. Even the little windmill is certainly a popular photo opportunity, before it you'll be transferred back to Tulcea. Two overnight stays in a 4-star guest house.

Today you start your bike tour quite easily by bus. In the old Turkish-populated village Babadag you'll swing yourself on you bike.
