Rezervația Naturală Pădurea Comorova

The Comorova Forest Nature Reserve is the largest forest on the Romanian coast, located near the Neptun resort, within the territory of the town of Mangalia in Constanța County. This coastal lowland forest, dominated by poplars, acacias and other species adapted to sandy soil, is an island of greenery and coolness in an area otherwise exposed to the sun and sea winds. Protected as a reserve, Comorova shelters a distinctive flora and fauna, with plant and bird species that find here a habitat rare along this stretch of coast.

The forest also played an important part in the development of the resorts of the southern coast, giving them a natural backdrop and a gentler microclimate. For visitors coming to the seaside, Comorova is a pleasant alternative to the beach, with shaded walking paths, clean air and quiet. It thus combines the value of nature conservation with a recreational function, in an area where large green spaces are a precious rarity.
