Vetren is a nice village situated on the banks of the Danube River. It is about 18 km from the town of Silistra, near the Srebarna Nature Reserve.
The Reserve is a freshwater lake adjacent to the Danube and extending over 600 ha. It is the breeding ground of almost 100 species of birds, many of which are rare or endangered. Some 80 other bird species migrate and seek refuge there every winter. Among the most interesting bird species are the Dalmatian pelican, great egret, night heron, purple heron, glossy ibis and white spoonbill.
Vetren is known famous for its extremly pure air which is scientifically proved to have qualities to help people with lung diseases and respiratory problems to recover very quickly and for this reason the Bulgarian health organization issued special sertificate for that. Vetren is also a place of archeological interest where numerous roman remains have been found.
The ancient Romans were using the hilly banks of the Danube to build fortresses called “Roman limit” in order to protect the eastern part of their Empire.
