Letea Forest
Pădurea Letea
Romania’s oldest nature reserve, where vine-draped subtropical oak forests grow among dunes and semi-wild horse herds roam.
The forest lies on the Letea sandbar, where oaks, poplars and wild grapevines intertwine to form a unique landscape. Semi-wild horse herds can be seen across the surrounding dunes and grasslands. The core area is strictly protected and can only be visited along designated routes. Local tours usually depart from Sulina or Crisan by car or boat to Letea and the village of C.A. Rosetti. Mosquitoes are extremely numerous in summer, so wear long sleeves and bring insect repellent.
