Danube-Black Sea Canal
The Danube–Black
Sea Canal is a navigable canal that connects the Danube River to the Black
Sea. The canal, administered
from Agigea, plays a crucial role in linking the North Sea and the Black Sea
via the Rhine-Main-Danube Canal.
The main
branch of the canal stretches 64.4 kilometers and connects the Port of Cernavodă with
the Port of Constanța. The northern
branch, known as the Poarta Albă-Midia Năvodari Canal, covers 31.2 kilometers
and links Poarta Albă to the Port of Midia. While the canal itself isn't a major tourist destination, several
interesting sights can be found nearby.
The Central Eco-Tourism Museum of the Danube Delta allows visitors to learn about the delta's diverse plant and animal
life. History buffs can explore
Romania's oldest town, Histria Archaeological
Complex & Museum, founded by Greek
traders. Constanța offers a variety of
historical and cultural attractions, including the National History & Archaeological Museum, the Roman Mosaic, and the Great Mahmudiye Mosque.
