GET TO BUCHAREST DELTA

Bucharest Natural Delta is in district 4 of the Romanian capital, between Vacaresti Avenue, Oltenitei Street and Dambovita. See the map at the end of the post. Actually, the river Dambovita is one of the reasons the great project about this area didn’t work. It was the communist period and the regime thought it was a good idea to build a huge defense system against floods for Bucharest. And Vacaresti area, or Bucharest Delta as it is known now, was part of the plan, but it wouldn’t work.

Near Bucharest Delta is the Mihai Bravu Bridge and Dambovita River

The best way to get to Bucharest Delta is to follow a complex of blocks of flats near the tram station at Asmita Garden. There are about 6 or 7 high blocks near the bridge and an alley from there. You can also get a bottle of water, or a coffee and beer from a shop nearby. From there, you are on your own.

NATURE WON IN BUCHAREST DELTA

 For more than 20 years, authorities has abandoned this area. The government didn’t know that underground, springs were just about to come out. Thus, soon, new trees appeared, new flowers, new lakes and an entire fauna replaced the deserted area. The problem was it was inside the city. Why none could build something there? Because, on this Bucharest Delta it is all about the underground water sources. Another example of underground water coming up is the YOUTH LAKE IN BUCHAREST,. It is in the middle of the Youth Park where there was a swamp similar to the Vacaresti Natural Delta. There, the authorities in the 70s managed to create the largest park in Bucharest. Then, they found a rare kind of otter, which meant the environment was safe and clean, and the whole project of this protected area started.

THE PROJECT OF BUCHAREST NATURAL DELTA

Hundreds of families had to leave their homes in 1988 when Nicolae Ceausescu signed a decree about Bucharest Vacaresti area. He decided to start the works for a great hydrological complex for the rivers nearby to protect the capital against flooding. This part of Bucharest, yet, remained a no-men’s-land after the revolution in 1989( see the house and private life of Ceausescu HERE). In 2000, an Australian citizen talked to the Romanian Government and won a bid for a project to civilize the area. He wanted to build casinos, a hippodrome, a hotel, a conference hall and blocks of flats. The project failed too and the old communist project remained at nature’s will and, so became the natural park we can see today.
