DESCRIPTION<\/h4>\n

The T\u0103ul F\u0103r\u0103 Fund themed trail connects Pe\u0219teana village with the botanical reserve known as Mla\u0219tina de la Pe\u0219teana or T\u0103ul F\u0103r\u0103 Fund. The trail begins in the Reformed Church area, near the bridge. When exiting the village, there is a geological viewpoint, proof of the times when this place was under water. The footpath turns to the left, following the pastures full of butterflies (in the summer), then slightly up until it reaches the small dwarf birch forest. From there, you can climb the hill to see the Ha\u021beg valley and the Retezat mountains.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you lend your ear to the villagers in Pe\u0219teana, you will learn that close to their village is T\u0103ul F\u0103r\u0103 Fund, a \u2019bottomless\u2019 bog which communicates with the Ocean and where Satan gets cattle stuck. It is worth the trip, because the very story of this place is interesting. Even if you will not find a muddy bog, as you may imagine, you will discover a place that is home to carnivorous plants.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do not imagine that carnivorous plants have giant tentacles and catch living things. They are just mere `fly traps`, no more than a few centimeters above the ground. Their leaves produce a sticky substance, and the small, outwitted insects get stuck in the plant\u2019s hairs.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
