Goose Island, Giurgeni-Ialomița

In the area of Giurgeni, near the bridge at Vadu Oii, the Borcea branch of the Danube has managed to create a truly magical place.

A small piece of land emerging from the waters represents the main attraction of the entire area. This refers to Goose Island, or ostrovul Gâsca, a formation created by the alluvial deposits brought by the Danube during its millennia-long journey to the Black Sea.

Covering a total area of two and a half hectares, the island is located at an altitude of five meters above sea level. This natural land can only be accessed by fishing boats.

From the left bank of the Borcea River, in Giurgeni, the locals provide boats to this wonderful place. The area is ideal for fishing enthusiasts, who can stretch their nets during periods when access for fishermen to the Danube’s banks is allowed.

Goose Island is practically the main gateway to the natural paradise of the Balta Mare (Big Marsh) of Brăila. It is one of the most important islands created by the Danube, stretching from the Hârșova area and beyond Brăila.

Beyond the beauty of nature, both the Big Marsh and the Small Marsh of Brăila, as well as Goose Island, are haunted by a series of local legends that are still preserved today. These places are said to have been scorched by the haiducs (outlaws) of Terente, also known as the "King of the Marshes".

His right-hand man, Danacu, was a rebellious haiduc who opposed the "King of the Marshes", being forced to roam the shores of Goose Island. "Like Terente, Danacu would have spread terror among the locals. He would swim across the Danube, reach the villages, and raid and plunder the homes of the wealthier inhabitants."
