County-Level Protected Natural Areas

Valea Șoimului – County-Level Protected Area
By Decision 147/1994 of the Cluj County Council, Valea Șoimului was declared a protected natural area of county interest due to its game and wildlife value.

Bondureasa Reservoir
Located downstream from the confluence of the Iara River with the Măruțiu stream. In this area, not far from its source, the Iara River forms a stunning amphitheater with rocky walls, crests, scree slopes, and crags where birches and stunted spruces dare to grow. The area is quite isolated, accessible by car on a forest road from Valea Ierii, and offers access to neighboring regions via forest roads.

This area was declared a county-level protected natural site for its scenic value.

Valea Ierii – County-Level Protected Area
This area stretches from downstream of the Bondureasa Reservoir toward the village of Valea Ierii and continues to the commune of Băișoara.

To preserve its beauty, the area, located in the communes of Valea Ierii and Băișoara, was declared a protected natural area of county importance, both for its landscape and wildlife value, by Decision 147/1994 of the Cluj County Council.
