This beautiful nature reserve has an area of 25,000 ha and is located in the floodplain of the Danube. A great area for bird watching.
Parcul Natural Balta Mica a Brailei is interesting for observations on aquatic species in general. It is a wetland of international interest and a protected Ramsar site. Over 200 species of birds can be observed. Birds come here to nest, to have a halting place during migration or to spend the winter. Among these are internationally threatened species, such as Krøltoppet Pelikan, Hvidøjet And, Rødhalset Gås and Dværgskarv. But also nice birds as Havørn and Sort Stork.
The only way to get to the Natural Park is to cross the arms of the Danube by small boats or by ferries that leave from the towns around Balta Mica a Braila. There are 3 options:
1 Giurgeni Village – the one more important entrance gate to the park, located on European Road 60, with access to the “Egreta” integral protection area, with light boats (individual – kayaks / canoes or in group – fast boats, steamboats);
2 The municipality of Braila – the second entrance gate in the park): from the Nautical Base, upstream, to the “Fundu Mare” integral protection zone in 15 minutes with fast boats or in 30 minutes by boat. (you can cross by ferry from Braila at the crossing from Stanca and from here on the road to Marasu, or Bandoiu, then cross the Danube arm by boat).
3 Gropeni Village – the third gateway to the park as important access to PN-BmB being made by asphalt road at the ferry crossing in the Big Island of Braila, then with light boats upstream on the Navigable Danube and Vâlciu branch to The Small Island of Braila and downstream the Calia branch and the Navigable Danube to the Calia Island.
