Nature reserve surrounding a quite shallow lake (3m of depth at its maximum) which is an important stop over point for migratory birds. A UNESCO World Heritage site since 1985, the reserve also houses a museum which exhibits stuffed animals typical to the area. A World Birding Biosphere Reserve since 1977, this Important Birding Area (IBA) has been a protected area since the 1940s and under the Ramsar convention since 1975.
The Srebarna Nature Reserve is a nature reserve in northeastern Bulgaria, near the village of the same name, 18 kilometers (11 mi) west of Silistra and two kilometers (1.2 mi) south of the Danube. It comprises Lake Srebarna and its surroundings, and is an important wetland located on the Via Pontica, a bird migration route between Europe and Africa. As a result, it provides nesting and migratory habitat for many endangered bird species.
