description Razelm Lake Overview

Lake Razelm, also written Razim, is a large lagoon-like freshwater body in southeastern Romania and the largest lake in the country, with an area of roughly 415 square kilometres. It belongs to the Razim-Sinoe lagoon complex south of the Danube Delta and was historically connected more directly to the Black Sea. Hydraulic works reduced marine exchange, changing much of the lake from brackish to predominantly fresh water.
