The site is important for the sub boreal plant communities that grow here: white birch, shrubby<br />

birch, eared willow, creeping willow, cranberries and cowberries, bog rose mary, black crowberry,<br />

round leaf sundew, fringed pink, sibirian ligularia and Sphagnum species. These species are not<br />

well represented in Romania due to different climatic c<strong>on</strong>diti<strong>on</strong>s.The peat bog was designated a<br />

scientific reservati<strong>on</strong> over fifty years ago. As a result, the rare flora and fauna found here has<br />

reserve is a Natura 2000 site.<br />
