Visit Oltenitsa for free on the Day of Tutrakan

September 18, 2026

On the eve of Tutrakan’s Town Day, on September 20,we are organising a free visit to Oltenita for our members. We also have a limited number of places available for anyone from Bulgaria or Romania who would like to join us.

The initiative is organised in partnership with Green Space Association – Oltenita, Tutrakan Municipality and Oltenita Municipality. Its aim is to bring people living on both sides of the Danube closer together — to meet, connect, share experiences and create new memories together. For far too long, the river has been a border. Let’s turn it into a bridge — and an opportunity to bring the people on both banks closer together.

PROGRAMME:

Departure from Tutrakan — from the boat landing, in several groups at 09:30, 10:00 and 10:30.

• Arrival in Oltenita — we will walk to the city bus stop at Oltenita Port. A free bus transfer has been arranged for our group with the support of Oltenita Municipality.

• Guided walk — those who wish can join a guided tour of central Oltenita, led by a local guide.

• Free time — in the town centre, everyone will have time to explore the local sights, enjoy the atmosphere and grab something delicious to eat.

• Return to Tutrakan — in groups at 16:00, 16:30 and 17:00.

AND THERE’S MORE:

Especially for the occasion, our colleagues from Green Space Association Green Space are organising a kayak tour along the final 7 km of the Argeș River,followed by another 1.8 km along the Danube to Oltenita Port.
