Călărași County
Seat: Călărași
In the south of the Bărăgan plain, Călărași county stretches along the Danube and its Borcea branch. It is a land of calm waters, ponds and endless flatland, where the sky feels wider than anywhere else. Its seat, the town of Călărași, watches over the riverbank.
Fishing is an old passion on these rich waters, and the wetlands shelter remarkable birdlife, with flocks of migrating birds. The Bărăgan, the legendary plain of Panait Istrati, changes its face with the seasons. A land of quiet, of the Danube and open horizons.
