At 6km from the center of Corund we find a magical world that can be reached even with a wheelchair, on a path built in 2013. From 2019 in this reservation of 40 hectares there is also an educational route. On the wooden paths we step on a layer of moss of 11m.

The names of the 850 donors who helped with the boards to build the bridge are written on the deck boards. Tinovul is a volcanic plateau full of springs, covered with thick moss, a habitat for animals such as grass and forest frogs, salamanders and viviparous lizards.

The vegetation is also worth noting, as it is the largest natural pine population in the country. As we move inland, the pine becomes smaller and smaller because it does not receive enough food, the ground being 11 meters below. Everything looks like a real bonsai!

Blueberries grow beautifully on peat, which is why the area is frequented by bears. We can also see the dew of the sky, the only carnivorous plant in the country. In winter the atmosphere here is typically Siberian.
