Lake Durankulak

 lake, endangered species habitat, wetland, nature conservation park / area, Ramsar site, bird sanctuary

Lake named after the near village of Durankulak. The lake itself is a natural reserve. There is a bird watching station here. As the habitat of 260 rare and endangered species, the lake is one of the most important and well-preserved coastal wetlands in Bulgaria. Among the important birds in the area are the little bittern, ferruginous duck, mute swan, western marsh harrier, paddyfield warbler. The greater white-fronted goose, red-breasted goose and mallard spend the winter there, and there are large populations of the pygmy cormorant and great white pelican.
The lake is also an archaeologically important area. Pithouses of the oldest known inhabitants of Dobrudzha, dating to 5,100–4,700 BC, have been unearthed near the west shore, as well as 3,500–3,400 BC mound burials and a Sarmatian necropolis from Late Antiquity.
Another interesting places to be visit might be the island in the lake as well as the fish restaurants.
