Comana Natural Park

Comana Natural Park is a protected area featuring wetlands, forests, and meadows in southern Romania shaped by the winding Neajlov River. The terrain consists of open water channels, reed beds, and wooded areas that shift gradually from one landscape type to another.

The area received official protection status in 2005 and earned international recognition as a Ramsar wetland in 2009. This designation marked formal acknowledgment of its global importance for wetland conservation.

The communities living near the park work with the wetlands using methods passed down through generations that follow nature's rhythms. These practices shape how the landscape looks today and show how people and nature coexist in this region.

The park lies about 45 minutes south of Bucharest by car and is straightforward to reach. Visitors should wear sturdy shoes and be prepared for changing weather, especially during wetter months.

An intricate network of water channels crisscrosses the park, forming a natural maze that sustains many migratory bird species throughout the year. This channel system developed over centuries through both natural processes and traditional management practices.
