Community: Dărmăneşti
On the road full of history that relates Bucharest to Târgovişte, known as "Drumul Domnişorului", half way between the two large cities, we find Dărmăneşti commune. Among the constituents of the commune there are Dărmăneşti and Mărginenii de Sus villages. The commune stretches on a surface of 3314 ha, with a population of 5.050 inhabitants.
Our village lies right where the plain and hill meet, so the vegetation consists in grassy plants specific to the steppe area and in leafy forests (oak, beech, acacia). The climate is temperate and moderately dry. 4 km east of our village Prahova river flows, and to the west there are Provita brook and Cricov river.
