Caraorman Forest & Dunes
Pădurea Caraorman
An ancient oak forest and shifting dunes on a sandbar in the middle of the Delta. Some giant oaks are several hundred years old, and the landscape resembles a small desert within a wetland.
From Crișan, take a boat through the waterways to the village of Caraorman, then enter the protected forest on a forest trail or by tractor-drawn cart to see tall ancient oaks and dune landforms. The village has the ruins of an unfinished large quartz sand plant. Some areas are strictly protected, so visits follow open routes. It is recommended as part of a day tour arranged through local guesthouses.
