The two beech forests and other hardwoods are located near the Cozia Mountain and close to the Lotrişor Waterfall, two areas which are currently visited by tourists, but for those who are interested to admire the huge trees in the protected area, the representatives of Cozia National Park, along with those of an NGO from the city of Brezoi, are already unrolling a project which targets to promote forests from the perspective of a nature-friendly tourist.
