Caraorman village is located between St. George branch and Sulina branch. This village bears the wounds of years of communism. The ruins were supposed to be the greatest glass factory in Europe. However, the village surroundings give the impression of a desert in the middle of a water oasis and greenery. The sand dunes near the village are unique in the country. They often exceed in 7 m height. Another point of interest in this area is the forest of Cararoman, a forest that was declared in 1940 a natural monument.
