Level: people who are used to do this kind of tour. It’s not so much a socializing tour but absolutely doable for experienced bikers! 10 days and 9 nights around the Delta, 400 km (330 km of biking and about 70 of going with the boat). Ancient fortresses, wild beaches where we’re sometimes pushing our bikes or riding on the edge of the water, the Letea forest, the 3 arms of the Danube flowing in the sea, Laguna Razim-Sinoe, Jurilovca, wild camping or comfortable accommodation.
It is an endurance tour – only after you’ve done it you are able to realize the greatness of the Danube Delta, the place situated at the frontier of land and water, of reality and fantasy.
The route is Tulcea-Chilia Veche-Sulina-Sf. Gheorghe-Gura Portitei-Vadu-Istria-Jurilovca-Enisala-Tulcea. It is an unassisted tour, where, although we are a team, everyone needs to carry their own equipment and has to be able to take care of themselves. It is possible to deviate from the path and the timetable if the weather or other circumstances force us to. Price: 490€/pers.
