The Dragons’ garden is a unique landscape in the whole world. It is the most famous, most impressive sight in Sălaj County. Here we will make a 2 h easy hike. The protected geological and landscape natural reservation is the home of some peculiar formations. The current appearance of the rocks is due to corrosion (wind, rain, snow etc.), water and vegetation, thus their form is continuously changing and Dragons may change in appearance or height. The uniqueness of the Dragon rocks attracts not only tourists, but researchers as well.

The botanical garden and its history began in 1957 when Professor Vasile Fati discovers the potential of the park around the high school (which operates in Wesselenyi Castle) which in his eyes must be capitalized.
