Babadag

Babadag is a town in the Tulcea county, Romania; situated on a small lake formed by the Taitza river among the densely wooded highlands of the northern Dobrudja. The Taitza Lake is divided only by a strip of marshland from Razim Lake, a broad landlocked sheet of water which opens on the Black Sea. Babadag was a market for the wool and mutton of the Dobrudja.
