Codrul Secular Slătioara, UNESCO protected beech forest in Eastern Carpathians, Romania.
The Codrul Secular Slătioara forest reserve spans 609 hectares of land, featuring ancient beech trees reaching heights of over 50 meters across different elevation zones.
The forest ecosystem has remained undisturbed for centuries, maintaining natural processes that date back to the post-glacial period of European forest development.
Local communities have traditionally regarded these ancient forests as sanctuaries of nature, forming an integral part of Romanian ecological heritage since generations.
Visitors can access the reserve through designated trails while adhering to conservation guidelines established by the National Forest Administration Romsilva.
The reserve contains substantial amounts of dead wood and centuries-old trees, creating specific microhabitats for rare species like the Lady's slipper orchid.
