Geography

[edit]
Scenery near Țăndărei

Ialomița County has a total area of 4,453 km2 (1,719 sq mi). The county is situated in the Bărăgan Plain. The area is flat crossed by small rivers with small but deep valleys.

Its eastern border is on the Danube. The Ialomița River crosses the county from West to East about the middle. The Danube is split around the Ialomița Pond into the Old Danube branch and the Borcea branch.

Until 1940 (in the western part) and 1967 (in the eastern part) the county/plain was home of the great bustard (dropieinRomanian), with large populations of this bird. The birds disappeared because of the massive village buildout and hunting them for food.
