It is a protected area with terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems formed from natural habitats. An element of tourist attraction is also G\u00e2rla Mare Island, right near the Commune, where there are numerous ceramic fragments that prove its inhabitation by the bearers of the Verbicioara and G\u00e2rla Mare cultures from the Bronze Age, as well as Hallstatt or the Church of the Holy Spirit in G\u00e2rla Mare, built in 1838, with the classic roof and no tower and declared historic monument. Near the river mile 840,there are the ruins of a Roman farm (villa rustica), located in the southern part of the village, on the high, non-flooded bank of the Danube. Fishing enthusiasts can enjoy fishing on the shores of G\u00e2rla Mare Pond.<\/p>\n
