Reply To: Information for a planned Fishing Trip into the Dunaudelta
As I promised, I am back with new information about getting around Gorgova Lakes living from Murighiol. Basically you have three main possibilities getting from Murighiol to Litcov water channel :
1. Way I Murighiol – Litcov for Gorgova Lakes
Murighiol – Cotul Uzlinei (Uzlina Curve) – Marea Bucla a Uzlinei amonte (Uzlina Great Loop going upstream) – Satul Uzlina (Uzlina village) – Canalul Uzlina (Uzlina water channel) – Lacul Uzlina (Uzlina Lake) – Canalusul Bibanilor (Perch Fish small water channel) – Lacul Isacova (Isacova Lake) – Isac I (the north – western exit from Isacova Lake) – Canalul Isaccel (Isaccel water channel) – Canalul Litcov (Litcov water channel).
Going right on Litcov water channel you will see the entrance on the water channel that will lead you towards Potcoava Lake (Horseshoe Lake). Going left on Litcov water channel you will have the the water channel that you’ll lead you towards the entrance on Gorgovat Lake. Going further on the left on Litcov water channel you will have another entrance to Gorgovat Lake (the classic one).
1. Way II Murighiol – Litcov for Gorgova Lakes
In case of medium wind (about 20 – 30 km/h) to cross Uzlina Lake but the much bigger Isacova Lake can be dangerous. In this case your route will be :
Murighiol – Cotul Uzlinei (Uzlina Curve) – Marea Bucla a Uzlinei amonte (Uzlina Great Loop going upstream) – Satul Uzlina (Uzlina village) – Canalul Uzlina (Uzlina water channel) – Lacul Uzlina (Uzlina Lake) – Iesirea Nord – vestica de pe Lacul Uzlina (North – Western exit from Uzlina Lake) – Lacul Durnaleapca (Durnaleapca Lake) – Lacul Isaccel (Isaccel – Small Isac Lake) – Canalul Isaccel (Isaccel water channel) – Canalul Litcov (Litcov water channel)
Onto this route you will have to cross smaller lakes. The difficulty of this route will be much harder because of the orientation. You will meet Litcov water channel at the same point as you meet taking the previous route and you will have the same access points to the lakes beside Gorgova Lake.
1. Way III Murighiol – Litcov for Gorgova Lakes
In case of strong wind (< 30 km/h) you should avoid crossing ANY LAKE. On Isacova Lake the wawes can be higher then 1 m and shorter than 2 m = very dangerous for a 4 meters boat. In this case your route will be : Murighiol - Cotul Uzlinei (Uzlina Curve) - Marea Bucla a Uzlinei amonte (Uzlina Great Loop going upstream) - Satul Uzlina (Uzlina village) - amonte pe Marea Bucla a Uzlinei (Upstream on Uzlina Great Loop) - Canalul Filat (Filat water channel) - Canalul Litcov (Litcov water channel). In this case, you will reach Litcov water channel at west if you compare with the previous two entry points. Almost straight ahead, crossing Litcov water channel, you will have tha water cahnnel that will lead you towards Gorgovat Lake. I'll be back with detailed explanation about each of these three ways from Murighiol to Litcov, towards Gorgova Lakes.
