A safari car is waiting for us at the debarking point, for a visit to Letea Forest, the northernmost subtropical forest in Europe. There is a distance of about 7 km between the village and the forest, a road that we travel by safari car and then walking about 20-30 minutes, on the route approved by ARBDD (Administration of the Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve). We are looking for wild horses, oaks grown on salty sand and other attractions of the place (depending on the season), we walk through the fine sand.
We return to the village where we can have the lunch (optional) at an authentic local household, where the hosts cook simply and traditionally. After lunch we return to the boat going back through lakes and canals, towards Tulcea, on another route.

About Tulcea
Tulcea is a river port on the Danube in eastern Romania, the gateway to the Danube Delta, a vast maze of channels, reed beds and birds.
Tulcea stands on the right bank of the Danube, in the region of Dobruja, close to where the river divides into the channels of its delta before reaching the Black Sea. A hillside monument to the war of independence overlooks the town, the museums show the wildlife and peoples of the delta, and the long riverside promenade is lined with boats. The ruins of the ancient fortress of Aegyssus stand on a hill.
