Caraorman is a settlement right in the middle of the Danube Delta. And in Turkish means Black Forest. Coincidentally or not, the Danube springs from the Black Forest Mountains. Thus, the adventurous journey of the Danube through the European continent finds its symmetry elegantly, due to this name that Caraorman bears.

The Caraorman levee, where the forest and the village of the same name are located, was part of the initial land cord that blocked Tulcea Bay 8000 years ago. Over time, this cord of sand and alluvium split into two large levees: Caraorman and Letea. That is why Caraorman and Letea have a lot in common in terms of flora and fauna, but there are also many differences. Therefore, if you do not have much time for a day trip to Letea, then the route proposed by us to Caraorman reaches points of interest that will surely arouse your curiosity.
