Comana Natural Park
Comana Natural Park, located in Giurgiu County, is the largest protected area in the Romanian Plain, covering approximately 25,000 hectares. Often referred to as the 'Neajlov Delta', it features a complex ecosystem of wetlands, lakes, and marshes that closely resembles the Danube Delta. Established in 2004, the park aims to preserve the region's rich biodiversity, hosting over 140 bird species and 31 species of fish. Botanically, the area is renowned for its wild Romanian peonies and butcher's broom, both of which are protected species thriving in the ancient Comana forests. The park's history is intertwined with Vlad the Impaler, who founded the nearby Comana Monastery in 1461. Visitors can engage in various ecotourism activities, including kayaking, birdwatching, and hiking along designated trails. Located near Bucharest, Comana serves as a vital sanctuary for endangered wildlife and a major destination for nature lovers and ecological education.
