Domogled - Cerna Valley National Park

Domogled - Cerna Valley National Park is located in the southwestern part of the country, in the Southern Carpathians.

An important characteristic of the national park is the impressive diversity of plant species, with over 1100 identified species, including some very rare ones that are strictly protected. Among these, the Black Pine of Banat stands out, an endemic species that grows exclusively on the rocks and gives the landscape a special charm. The faunal diversity is equally rich, including rare species: the horned viper, the scorpion, the bat, the wolf, the fox, the bear and many other species. But the most impressive aspect of the park is the incredible number and diversity of butterflies, with almost 1500 species that give the meadows and mountain passes an almost unreal atmosphere.

FONIAS GORGE

--------------------------

A landscape of outstanding natural beauty

Samothrace, Greece

The imposing gorge of Fonias is located in the northeastern part of the island of Samothrace. The gorge has an area of about 2. 600 acres and crossed by the Fonia River. At the mouth of the river, a watchtower of the same name has been standing since the Gateluzzi era (1. 430 AD).

The altitudinal deviations in the gorge are remarkable, from 500 metres to sea level. During the flow of the Fonia River, waterfalls and small granite lakes (known as vathres) are formed. In the largest waterfall, Klidosis, the water falls from a height of 35 metres.

The landscape around the river, in the gorge, is beautiful with rich flora and fauna. The vegetation consists mainly of plane trees and dense ferns. There are also other species such as cedars, strawberries and herbs. In the higher areas of the canyon there is a unique, toxic and medicinal plant, the holly (Taxus baccata).
