ABOUT

Durankulak Lake, is located in the Coastal Dobrogea region, 1 hour drive from Varna airport (in Bulgaria) and from Constanta (Romania); all major birding locations along the Black Sea coast, including Branta Birding Lodge Ringing Site, can be visited easily. This bird-friendly lakeside accommodation is situated 5 minutes walk from the lake and 3 miles from the Romanian border. It naturally follows that Durankulak Lake is also one of the best Hotspots listed within the eBird network database.
