Lungimea traseului este de circa 130 km care se poate parcurge in circa 4 ore cu o ambarcatiune cu motor, respectand restrictille de viteza stabilite pentru rezervatie, sau in circa 24-26 ore cu o ambarcatiune nemotorizata („la rame"). 

 

    Murighiol (J6) - Dranov Channel - Gura Portitei - Dunavat Channel – Murighiol

    The route starts from Murighiol village, another important entry point in the delta, situated at about 42 km from Tulcea. Close to Murighiol, there is the Strictly Protected Area Saraturi - Murighlol, designated for nesting and resting of many bird species adapted to an environment rich in salts: Avocet, Black-winged Stilt, Lapwing, Red-crested Pochard, etc. The route starts on Sf. Gheorghe Arm up to the 54 km where Dunavat Channel branches out. The route continues on Dunavat Channel about 8 km, then on Gascova Channel which links Dunavat Channel and Dranov Channel, and on Dranov channel, near Dranov Lake (2170 ha, one of the greatest lakes of the Danube Delta, currently operates as a fish pond) to Razim Lake. On the way to Gura Portitei, the route runs through Golovita Lake, by a narrow area (strait), guarded on the right side by the promontory of Cape Dolosman, where you can see the ruins of Orgame-Argamum fortress and the nesting place for Sand Martin, Pied Wheatear, and on the left side of the Bisericuta island's promontory, a part of the Strictly Protected Area Periteasca-Leahova important for waterfowl nesting and feeding. The trail ends at Gura Portitei ("La Eden" resort), a place visited by many tourists who enjoy sunbathing, leisure and fishing sessions, due to the fact that the place is on a sand alluvium, between the lacustrian complex and the Black Sea. The return journey is along the same route, or you can enter Dunavat Channel. The length of the route is about 130 km which can be covered in about 4 hours on a motor boat, following the speed restrictions established for the reserve, or about 24 to 26 hours in a non-motorized craft (rowing).”
