Mestecănișul de la Reci

It is Natura 2000 site since 2007, and has a surface area of 2.020 ha. Mestecănişul de la Reci is a sandy deposit of Pleistocene age,  presenting sanddunes, ponds and small lakes with a diverse flora and fauna, which are rare in Romania.

Due to the strong antropic intervention most of the birches were devastated and they have planted pine trees (Pinus silvestris) to their place. The grassy meadows have been heavily modified by grazing. The site has a special scientific importance due to its hydrophilic species which are rare in Romania.
