Srebarna Nature Reserve

Strict Nature Reserve

Srebarna Nature Reserve is a nature reserve in northeastern Bulgaria, near the village of the same name, about eighteen kilometers west of Silistra and two kilometers south of the Danube. It comprises Lake Srebarna and its surrounding wetlands and sits on the Via Pontica, a major bird migration route between Europe and Africa. Because of this location the reserve provides nesting and migratory habitat for many endangered bird species.
