Nemira Mountains Nature Reserve

unLiked
Removed from Unnamed collection

Nestled in the heart of Romania, the Nemira Nature Reserve is a hidden gem that sprawls across the districts of Bacau and Covasna. Covering a vast 3,490 hectares, this reserve is a sanctuary for nature lovers. Imagine strolling through lush beech and pine forests, where Edelweiss, the famed mountain flower, proudly blooms among the protected flora. Each step you take is a reminder of the untouched beauty of this area.

Just a short distance away, Lake Valea Uzului awaits. This natural dam lake, perched at 532 meters above sea level and only 4 kilometers from Salatruc, is more than just a picturesque spot. It's declared a natural monument and is part of the Nemira Mountains Nature Reserve, proudly contributing to the European ecological network. With its 4.5 hectares of serene waters and a depth of 3 meters, it's a place where you can truly unwind.

For those who love a challenge, Nemira Peak stands tall at 1,649 meters, offering breathtaking views for those daring enough to reach its summit. The reserve isn't just about the landscapes, though. It's a thriving habitat for a diverse array of wildlife. Imagine catching a glimpse of brown bears, wolves, or the elusive lynx. Deer and wild pigs roam freely, while the skies are patrolled by majestic birds like the golden eagle and peregrine falcon. And let's not forget the charming accommodations that dot the reserve. Agro-tourism hotels and cozy chalets invite visitors to experience "green" tourism at its finest. Here, you can immerse yourself in the tranquility of nature while enjoying modern comforts. Whether you're hiking through the forest or simply soaking in the serene beauty of the surroundings, the Nemira Nature Reserve offers an unforgettable escape into the wild.
