Summary/Abstract: The selected theme emphasizes the diversity of the geographic and geological elements, many of them have been declared reservations or monuments of nature. The area Lopătari-Berca-Colţi is characterized by an extremely varied landscape (especially geomorphological and geological). It is situated in the Bent (Curvature) Sub Carpathians, where there is an active tectonics, complicated by the on-going earth movements. Within a restricted area, there are many natural resources; the most important being: oil, salt and amber and connected to the presence of oil there is also a natural phenomenon known as “Muddy Volcanoes.” The presence of salt has conducted to a karst micro relief. The intense degradation of ground (soil) due to many factors (inclination of the layers to vertical, lithological variation, seismic movements, heavy rains, deforestations) has produced a natural landscape which has to be explored and protected, mainly for promoting the tourism in this particular area.
