Litcov Channel

The Litcov Channel is also included in most of our proposed itineraries, providing access to many lakes.
​
The Litcov or "King Charles II Channel" is an artificial channel with a length of 45 km, the longest channel of the Danube Delta.
​
It connects the Saint George branch with Caraorman channel and Sulina branch.
​
Not being a very wide channel, the Litcov channel is a good refuge from the strong rays of the sun during the burning hours.
​
The willows that outline Litcov give the image of a lush, beautiful green corridor.
​
The lakes: Uzlina, Isac, Isacel, Dunaleatca

The access to these lakes can be done either from the Litcov channel or from Saint George branch.
​
Lake Uzlina is of shallower depth and Lake Isac is a deeper lake (approx. 2 meters).
All these lakes are connected by narrow canals that form a real natural labyrinth.
Here you can see colonies of pelicans, swans, cormorants and other birds that inhabit the Delta.
These lakes are also known for the possibility of sport fishing for pike and bass.
