Summary/Abstract: The article represents the main morphostructural characteristics, composition and geological-genetic aspects of the reefs in the northwestern region of the Republic of Moldova, also known as the Prut Toltrels. For several decades the reefs have been exploited in an extensive way that does not override the protection of natural monuments. The Prut Toltrels, through its beauty and splendor, creates amazing, special landscapes that must be preserved as rarities and exceptional geological monuments. It must become objects of cultural tourism, recreation, spiritual enrichment of people through contact with nature. It is necessary to prohibit the barbaric destruction of reefs and the creation in the region of the spread of reefs protected areas, natural parks and the preservation of what has remained intact for present and future generations.
