Ornithological Tourism

The fishing area is a dream come true for bird lovers. The variety of protected zones and the migration corridors offer great opportunities for bird watching. Dalmatian Pelican (Pelecanus crispus), Pygmy Cormorant (Phalacrocorax pygmeus), lesser white-fronted goose (Anser erythopus), Red-breasted Goose (Branta ruficollis), Ferruginous Duck (Aythya niroca), Aquatic Warbler (Acroceohalus paludicola), corncrake (Crex crex) are only a small part of 230te bird species in “Kalimok-Brashlen”. Also, here is one of the largest brittle colonies in Bulgaria. And in “stenata” is the largest bee-eater colonies in Bulgaria.

The “Malak Preslavets” swamp is situated at 412 km among the Danube and around 3-4 km from the homonymous village. It is about 20 km west of Lake Srebarna and is separated from the Danube via a levee. The east side of the swamp boarders with agricultural lands, the south boarder is drawn by a mixed forest, on the west is the levee which separates the river and the north reaches a road, leading from the village to the harbor. The swamp occupies 38.5 ha. It is notable that it is very similar in structure and build to Lake Srebarna. It has a very interesting geological history. Nearly a million years ago the northeast part of the Danube plain is already dry. In that dry land the lake was formed, of the erosion activity of the river, which washed away the getti sands. Those sands are unstable and easily destroyed, which makes them prone to sliding and washing. This process widened the mouth of the river and reduced the speed of the flow, and the sands in the water formed sand strips. The swamp has a broad water surface and a small floodplain terrace, which grows with the tide. Currently, the water supply of the swamp comes from waters, flowing on the surface and probably from underground waters.

Today, there is a gazebo and an observation tower which provide great opportunities for ornithological tourism. Here you can see Squacco Heron, small and large White Egret, gray heron, Mute swans, whiskered tern both in the spring and the summer.
