Geological Formation Gradina Zmeilor, Dragons’ Garden Royalty-Free Stock Photo

The `Dragons’ Garden` is a protected natural reserve, from a geological and landscape point of view, stretching on almost three hectares, unique in the world and impressive through its aspect and the complexity of the rocks. Situated near the Gâlgăul Almaşului village, the reserve represents a significant fall and destructive erosion phenomenon, in the so-called Sânmihaiu hone. This is a relatively mildly cemented hone, mixed with gravel and conglomerates. These formations appeared through the detachment of blocks or compartments of hone from the massive Închieturi hill 376 m and their slipping on the bluish clays at the bottom.
