The steppe peony reserve
The Steppe Peony Reserve covers 3.49 hectares, home to 359 plant species including the Steppe Peony (Paeonia tenuifolia), which blooms May to June. It is Romania's northernmost growing site for this protected species and a nature monument since 1932. The successful rescue is thanks mainly to Marcu Sâncrăian, who sowed seeds in molehills. Today visitors can admire tens of thousands of these flowers at the reserve.
