Can you imagine peonies growing peacefully along forest paths? Comana forest displays plenty of these gorgeous flowers

Best time: May

One of the best ways to enjoy May in Romania is to go for a nice spring walk in the Comana Forest renowned for its numerous bright red peonies, especially if you stay in Bucharest as the forest lies only 38 km from the capital city.
