Comana Natural Park

At an almost equal distance between Bucharest and Giurgiu, Comana Natural Park can be found. It has an impressive area of ​​over 24,000 hectares, of which 8,000 are forests, and the rest of it means ponds, marshes, pastures and slopes. In other words, an ideal environment for special plants, birds and animals.
Not accidentally, the decision to set up the natural park was adopted on the basis of the documentation developed since 1954 by members of the Romanian Academy. Everything was done to protect two unique floral areas in the world. It is about the Scientific Reserve of butcher's-broom (Ruscus aculeatus) and the Scientific Peony Reserve (Paeonia peregrina). These two reservations have been supplemented in 2004 with Balta Comana, as nature reserve, as well as an avifaunistic protection area.
According to experts, 141 species of birds live in Comana Natural Park, 71 of which are protected internationally, but also over 13 species of fish, some of them on the red list. We recall the Squalius cephalus, called the most fearful fish. Here also live the otter and the wild cat.
