The Kainardja village is situated about 36km away from the national reserve Srebarna. The area is very beautiful and attractive with its sights and unique views. The reserve of Srebarna, one of Bulgaria's most important wetlands, is situated close to the Danube about 16km to the west of the town of Silistra on Route 23. The marshy lake is a 600ha area of freshwater surrounded by reeds and willow scrub. It is separated from the Danube by a narrow belt of riparian woodland and farmland. The reserve also includes the island of Komluka in the nearby Danube. The Srebarna Biosphere Reserve has the highest international nature protection status: it is included in the UNESCO List for Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage (1983), it is recognized also as a Ramsar Site under the Ramsar Convention for Protection of Wetlands (1975), it is a part of the World-Wide Network for Biosphere Reserves of UNESCO (1977), and it is an Important Bird Area (IBA) according to the Birdlife International Programme. Srebarna was declared as a Protected Site in 1942. It is a Nature Reserve since 1948. All the nominations counted above come from the great biological diversity of the Reserve inhabitants: approx. 3000 plant and animal species. Several globally threatened animals reside the lake, i.e. three nesting bird species - the Dalmatian pelican, the pygmy cormorant, and the ferruginous duck, two wintering birds - the red-breasted goose and the lesser white-fronted goose, one mammal - the otter, and one invertebrate - the medicine leech. The dominant vegetation association is that of Phragmites australis which comprises about 2/3 of the total reserve area. In certain spots Salix caprea, S. cinerea and S. purpurea bushes occure. In terms of distribution Typha angustifolia occupies second position after the reed and is more abundant than T. latifolia and etc. Of the plants found here, 11 are rare or threatened with extinction. Some 19 fish species occurs in the lake till 1946. The herpetofauna consists of 21 species. The diversity of bird species is the greatest. The total number of species found in and around the Srebarna Lake is 179, of them 99 are nesting ones. The colony of the Dalmatian Pelican is the pearl of the reserve. In addition to Dalmatian Pelican also present in summer are Red-necked and Black-necked Grebes, Great and Pygmy Cormorants, bitterns and egrets, Night and Squacco Herons and small numbers of Glossy Ibis and Spoonbill. White Pelican has recently bred here for the first time in many times but remains much commoner on passage. Other breeders include Ferruginous Duck and Garganey, crakes and marsh terns, Roller, Bee-eater and Penduline Tit. Levant Sparrowhawk hunts over nearby woodland and Black Kite and Montagu's Harrier over adjacent farmland. A wide variety of raptors, waterfowl and waders occur on passage. The lake and surrounding area is also famous for large numbers of wintering geese, mainly White-fronted but also Greylag and there are usually Lesser White-fronted and Red-breasted Geese present. White-tailed Eagle is a former breeder but now occurs only as a rare winter visitor when it may be joined by Red Kite and Rough-legged Buzzard. The reserve has a Ecological research and visitor station and from there a trail leads to a viewpoint overlooking the pelican colony. In the vicinity there is a Nature museum as well.
