Fânețele seculare Valea lui David, Nature reserve near Iași, Romania
The reserve spans 46.36 hectares of land containing meadows, oak groves, and diverse microhabitats shaped by geological formations near the David's Valley stream.
The area received protection status in 1969 through Decree 389 and was named after geographer Mihail D. David, who conducted research in this location.
Scientists have documented over 570 plant species in the reserve, making it a center for botanical research and environmental education in northeastern Romania.
Visitors can access the reserve from National Road DN28 between Iași and Roman, following a narrow path between two hills in David's Valley.
The reserve houses the first Romanian discovery of Agaricus fissuratus mushroom species, identified in 2005, along with rare steppe vipers and stag beetles.
