COMENIUS MULTILATERAL SCHOOL PARTNERSHIPS “THE SCHOOL OF THE FUTURE”

1. ROMANIA IS
MY COUNTRY

3. General informations
Situated at the border of the balcanic
peninsula it has a surface of
238,391 km² , România ocupies a great of
the lower, east and middle part of the
basin of the Danube river. We are
situated at the south and north of the
Carpatians mountains that is a natural
barier of our country.
Here are some pictures about our
country.

4. Retezat massif
"Perfectly explainable natural phenomena"
geologists say about most of the natural
wonders of Romania.
It probably is. But Retezatul has 90 plant
species not found anywhere in the world and is
best preserved delta in Europe, while in Apuseni
is the largest karst phenomenon in Europe.
And all are found in a single country.
National Park Retezat missed the entrance
to the natural wonders of the world, but it is a
dream destination.

8. Sphinx
Located at 2216 m on the Bucegi
Plateau, attractive human form which
nature has carved over time. However,
the nature of the content to only that, if
breathed on it and a bit of personality.
Well positioned, with a look rough, it
gives the impression that oversees those
lands.

11. Babele
Strange and interesting Babele attract tourists
because of their unique shape. On this plateau,
nature has shaped almost all of the surrounding
rocks, but still has work to give them the final. Old
women have the appearance of giant mushrooms, but
maybe in a 300 years our descendants will be able to
distinguish the silhouettes of ladies. Over time,
around the Sphinx and Babe weaved legends. Some
say that it would be natural, but modeled with grace
and man-interest, others that "stones" have positive
energy that defend the country and the most
"original" claim to be traces of an alien civilization.

14. The Danube Delta
An exotic, with more than 1,200 species of
trees and plants, with the richest ornithological
and ichthyological fauna, the Danube Delta is the
largest wetland reserve lands of Europe, covering
an area of over 2,500 km2.
​
In 1991, UNESCO included the Danube Delta,
the newest form of relief from Romania, free
from "the progress of industrialization", including
biosphere reserves.

17. Gura Portiţei
Portiţei is probably the last unspoiled beach on
the Romanian coast.
To get there, you must go by ferry an hour,
but it is unlike any other beach, especially since
they left it as found in the fresh water of the
Danube Delta. In June, the turtles lay their eggs
on the beach you can see whole flocks that
wander freely, undisturbed by tourists attention.
Everyone who visited Portiţei, a narrow strip
of sand, left there thinking that they would
return in one of the most beautiful places in the
Danube Delta.

20. Muddy Volcanoes
Type geological nature reserve on 30 hectares
large, mud volcanoes are located in the Curvature
Sub-Carpathians. (Buzau) formations arose due to
eruptions of gas to the surface of the earth which
causes mud and water.
Cones do not exceed 5-6 meters high, and so-
called lava is thrown on a small area.
Once in the mud volcano, tourists are surprised
by an unusual sensation. When it is cloudy, arid
plateau with millions of torrents crack and
separate deep ridge resembles a lunar landscape.

21. Or if the sun appears, it appears as a
fully detached African desert, the mud
turns from green to yellow. In fact, mud is
nothing but a mixture of sandstone,
quartzite, ghipsuri, clays, limestone and
traces of oil, natural gas driven from the
depths coming from more than 3,000 feet
deep and passing through a clay soil,
combining water into the groundwater.
Beyond the area with craters, this land is
surrounded by a green explosion wildlife.
Lilac grove Muddy Volcanoes located inside
the reservation is perhaps as beautiful and
interesting as the volcanoes themselves.

24. Fortress of Ponor
Apuseni Mountains is the most
impressive karst phenomenon in South East.
A mountain of stone 76 meters is based on
a pure water ice that has found refuge
here 10,000 years ago.
Everest called Romanian Speleology,
Cave Fortress of Ponor has a main gallery 2
km long, active, where perhaps the largest
underground river in the country flowing
forming waterfalls, rapids and whirlpools.
