BREB, MARAMUREȘ
Morărenilor Lake (Tăul Morărenilor) · a nearly circular lake with a maximum depth of 20 meters, which was formed through a landslide.
The raised bogs of Chendroaiei Lake (Tăurile Chendroaiei) · an oligotrophic peat land developed at an altitude of 1053 meters, predominantly fed by atmospheric precipitation. The Rooster's Crest (Creasta Cocoșului) · the last and most spectacular remnant of a volcanic crater that erupted 9 million years ago here, in the area we call today Maramureș.
Borcut · among the three springs, which were used in the past for spa treatments and bottling, only the Olga spring remains, which emerges from a wooden hollow. The water is sulfurous, bicarbonated, calcic, magnesium-rich, carbonated, and is recommended for gastrointestinal, hepato-biliary, and nutritional conditions.
This rare ecosystem shelters several northern floral species, some of which are relicts, including the carnivorous plants Drosera rotundifolia and Drosera intermedia (commonly known as sundews). These plants' carnivorous diet is a remarkable adaptation to their nutrient-poor environment.
