Discover Surani: Thermal Spring, Hills and Churches

Surani is located in Romania’s sub-Carpathian zone. In the central area of the Comuna Surani municipality, there are massive, irregular hills with elevations between 300 and 500 metres.

The landscape around Surani is shaped by various clearly named features. In addition to the hills within the municipality, there is the Lopatna stream, which flows through Comuna Surani. The town’s geographical description therefore focuses both on its hilly topography and on a clearly defined watercourse.

Nature

The Lopatna stream flows through the municipality of Comuna Surani. The municipality is also home to the thermal spring named Puturosa. The Puturosa thermal spring is designated as a natural monument.

Puturosa combines its own name with a clear geographical classification: it is a thermal spring and is also designated as a natural monument. This designation is an integral part of the description of the place and remains associated with the municipality of Comuna Surani.
