I liked it here because it is very quiet here, there are many places for picnics, you can swim in fairly clean water, there are sand and also pebble beaches, (quite a lot of different species of birds), what can we say about natural resources, only animals there are not very many here, from the side of the Republic of Moldova, there are many scoundrel hunters
