An easy route around Lake Bacău II – Bacău Delta.
The proposed route is circular and has 3 start-finish points.
Lake Bacău II or Bacău Delta is a protected area, it is part of the protected natural area “Buhuși-Bacău-Berești Reservoirs”. The area is entirely within the administrative area of the municipality of Bacău.
The access to the lake is possible from several areas: from Stefan cel Mare street, from the Serbbaesti bridge area, from the Moldavian way, e.t.c.
The Bacovian Delta Trail runs around Lake Bacau II, being a circular route that also involves crossing the Bistrița riverbed, in the area near the Gherăiești Park. It is approximately 11.5 kilometres long.
The route runs along the lake embankment from Stefan cel Mare street, crosses the pedestrian bridge on Arinilor street, continues along the lake and the Bistrița riverbank until near Gherăiești park where it crosses the Bistrița riverbed, then back towards the city along the river bank, through the Serbănești forest, then follows the embankment passing by the EMD complex, crosses the Serbănești bridge (Unirii bridge), Vadu Bistriței street, Vântului street, and returns back to the embankment.
At the key points of the route there will be several large information boards (type 1), where information about the route, the area, the route map, technical data of the route will be presented.
Several small information panels (type 2) will be placed along the route, each of which will present elements of the flora and fauna specific to the reserve.
