Szászhermányi láp, Nature reserve in Brașov County, Romania.

The Hărman Swamp extends across 2 hectares of wetlands near the Olt River valley, containing sandy soils, gravel beds, and clay deposits at 525 meters elevation.

The natural area received official protection status through Law No. 5 on March 6, 2000, although its initial designation as a reserve dates back to 1962.

The reserve neighbors the historical Evangelical fortified churches of Hărman and Prejmer, which represent the medieval Saxon heritage of Transylvania.

Visitors can reach the reserve by taking National Road DN11 from Brașov to Hărman, then following County Road DJ112A until the reserve appears on the left side.

The wetland preserves over 150 glacial relict plant species, including rare specimens like Primula farinosa, Schoenus nigricans, and Fritillaria meleagris.

Elevation above the sea: 525 m

GPS coordinates: 45.71722,25.66833
