Giurgiu - Small Island of Brăila
Wetland reserve
What it feels like
Slow water under a flat sky. Reeds bending, herons taking off, the boat engine cutting out into silence.
Sf. Gheorghe Island, opposite Giurgiu, is a river island with wild willow and poplar vegetation, accessible by boat. Colonies of herons, gulls and wild ducks nest on the island, and fishing for carp and catfish in the surrounding Danube branches is exceptional.
Best time to visit
April through October. May–June for migrating birds.
