Called “El Dorado of Waterfowl” by Austro-Hungarian naturalist Felix Kanitz as early as back in the 1870s, Srebarna Lake continues to attract  feathery visitors and those interested in seeing them. Now part of a nature reserve extending over 600 ha, the freshwater lake is the breeding ground and wintering site of over 100 species of birds, and a shelter for a diversity of plant and animal species.
