The Danube Delta, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is renowned for its diverse ecosystem and rich cultural heritage. One of the most fascinating aspects of this natural paradise is the population of wild horses roaming freely in the Letea Forest. In 2024, Danube Delta trips offer visitors the unique chance to witness these majestic creatures in their natural habitat, alongside other stunning wildlife and landscapes. This experience, curated by SAFCA Delta Tours, is a must for nature enthusiasts and adventurers alike.
The Wild Horses of Letea: A Unique Spectacle
Nestled within the Danube Delta, Letea Forest is the oldest nature reserve in Romania and is home to a unique herd of wild horses. These horses are believed to be the descendants of domestic breeds left behind centuries ago, now fully adapted to the forest’s sandy soils and lush greenery. With their untamed beauty and natural grace, these horses offer a rare and captivating sight.
Visitors on Danube Delta trips can embark on guided tours through Letea Forest, providing an up-close view of these magnificent animals. The tours are designed to be respectful of the environment, allowing for an unobtrusive observation of the horses as they graze and interact in their natural surroundings. The experience is not only visually stunning but also educational, offering insights into the history and ecology of the region.
