Babadag (Romanian pronunciation: [babaˈdaɡ] ; Turkish: Babadağ, lit. "Father Mountain"), formerly known as Babatag,[3] is a town in Tulcea County, Romania, located on a small lake formed by the river Taița, in the densely wooded highlands of Northern Dobruja. One of the several tombs of Sari Saltik is found in town.
The Babadag Lake is divided only by a strip of marshland from Razim Lake, a broad landlocked sheet of water spilling into the Black Sea.
