Waterways shape your choice of location
Uzlina lies in the southern part of the Danube Delta on the St. George branch and can only be reached by boat from the direction of Murighiol. If you are considering the village as a place to stay overnight, factor the boat journey into your choice of location. Excursion planning here is also guided by the waterways: Visitor Route 7 leads from Murighiol via Uzlina and other waterways back to the starting point. Your choice of location and route are therefore directly connected.
Visitor Route 7 runs from Murighiol via Uzlina, Lacul Uzlina, Lacul Isac and Gârla Perivolovca back to Murighiol. It is a navigable visitor route through Uzlina. Its sequence is useful if you are considering not just a single lake, but a route with several named stops: the return to Murighiol is part of it.
Another route runs from Lacul Uzlina and Lacul Isac via the Isac-2 Canal, the Litcov Canal, the Ceamurlia Canal, the CriĹźan Canal and the Sulina branch to CriĹźan. The destination is a clear point of difference for comparison: Route 7 returns to Murighiol, while this route leads to CriĹźan. Check the current conditions on the waterways before making your specific journey.
In addition, the boat tour “Traseu 5 Lacuri la Apus” passes through the village of Uzlina and onto Lacul Uzlina. It has a different focus from the two routes: the tour combines a passage through the village with a trip on the lake. If you are including a specific tour in your travel plans, check current dates and availability.
Lake scenery at Lacul Isac
Lacul Isac is connected to adjoining canals and lakes, including Lacul Uzlina. This connection also links the two lakes for navigating on the water. The predominant vegetation at Lacul Isac includes reeds, cattails, and white and yellow water lilies. White and yellow water lilies can also be seen along the Lacul Uzlina section of the “Traseu 5 Lacuri la Apus” tour. Their visibility depends on the natural conditions at different times of year.
Lacul Isac provides a habitat for fish such as carp, catfish, pike, zander and perch. Birds such as pelicans, swans and cormorants also find a habitat there. The presence and abundance of birds can vary seasonally. Fish populations can also vary depending on the season and management conditions. For travelers interested in the lakes’ nature, these habitats add a specific point of interest to route planning alongside the named canals and routes.
Consider your route and overnight location together
A specific comparison can help you choose a location: Route 7 returns to Murighiol, the other route leads to Crişan, and the “Traseu 5 Lacuri la Apus” tour passes through Uzlina and onto Lacul Uzlina. If you are considering Uzlina as a place to stay overnight, match your travel plans to the waterway you want to take.
