Comorova Forest
At the end of XIX century, on the area of Comorova Forest there was a settlement with the same name. It had 4 families, with 14 souls, Turkish and Bulgarian fishermen. Comorova Lake had a surface of 60 ha and was covered by reed. During 1903-1906, at Comorova, 5 ha were seeded with more than one million spawns: locust, honey locust, ash, mulberry, apricots, chestnuts, plum trees, sumac and oaks. After 100 years, a cluster of Whitish oak planted at the beginning of 20th century- approximately 60 pieces over a surface of 1,2 ha, of different ages and dimensions- was declared natural reservation and protected by law. This balkanic-caucasian- pontic origin oak belongs to ancient arborescent flora from Tertiary-Pliocene era. It entered from Eastern Mediterranean Sea, along the external Carpathian area, alongside downy oak, Turkey oak and Hungarian oak, being a part of present forest steppe. The forest was spontaneous populated with red bucks and deer, heather cock, foxes, rabbits, pigeon hawk and other animals. Today, Comorova Forest hides an enviable fauna and is the favorite camping place for locals and tourists. During recent years, luxurious villas were built in the middle of the exuberant flora, surrounded by fir trees. Their scent reminds you of the mountains, at only 4 km away from the hot Neptun beach.
