## Description

Padurea Domneasca is one of Europe’s oldest and largest wooded meadows, covering 6,032 hectares. It is along the \[Prut\]\(https\://ro.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prut\) River, which separates Moldova from Romania. Rare animals such as wild cats, forest martens, shrews, otter and mink live in the reserve. Since 2005, it has also had bison — the symbol of Moldova, found on the country’s coat of arms. The bison are kept in a 32-acre field. Carefully chosen viewing locations provide tourists with insightful glimpses into the lives of these fascinating animals. The reserve’s largest reservoir is Lake La Fontal in the village of Ciobani.
