One of Romania's first nature reserves, protected since 1938: ancient oaks draped in lianas, sand dunes and herds of feral horses on the Letea sand bank in the north of the Danube Delta.

A Dobruja village on the bank of the Sfântu Gheorghe arm, ~31 km from Tulcea, with a Navrom landing stage, the ancient remains of Salsovia and the Beștepe hills behind it.

A Lipovan fishing village in the heart of the Danube Delta, on the Old Danube, reachable only by boat; the birthplace of Ivan Patzaichin, with a museum tower dedicated to the champion.
