Delta Neajlovului, located within the Comana Natural Park, is the second-largest biodiversity hotspot in Romania after the Danube Delta. The area is characterized by a wetland ecosystem spanning 1,148 hectares, featuring a protected marsh and lake environment. It serves as a critical nesting ground for numerous bird species and supports diverse aquatic flora. The park infrastructure includes boardwalks and observation points specifically designed for birdwatching and wildlife viewing. The Neajlov River feeds this wetland, creating a mosaic of reeds, water lilies, and dense forest galleries. Visitors can access various trails that traverse the forest and water edges. Scientific conservation efforts are ongoing to maintain the water quality and habitat integrity of the delta. It is located near the village of Budeni in the Giurgiu County region.
