The Danube delta, the largest reed area in the world, is one of Europe's most impressive natural phenomena. 'Europe's Amazon', a green paradise of reeds and water, is not only a nursery for countless rare animal species, but also a multi-ethnic landscape that was once a refuge for persecuted minorities. The delta has been through a lot under communism: brutal industrialisation, draining of large areas, overfishing and unchecked water pollution. Since the fall of Ceaucescu in 1989, the people in the delta have been left to their own devices and the many new regulations. Corruption is flourishing, ecotourism is a fragile plant, only the fish feeds in times of need, and the red past appears as rosy as the beautiful nature. A journey through a labyrinth at the end of Europe that no one wants to leave. Plus: basic information for travellers. - Illustrated paperback with numerous maps and photos.
