The Reserve of the wild peony, unique in Romania's landscape, is set on an area of about 50 ha, and during the flowering period is a real fever.

Pliny has in ancient times made a detailed description of the peony, which he said could treat about 20 diseases.
Every year, in May, the traditional peony celebration is held at Pleniţa. A large red peony is welcoming the locals but also the guests from Gorj, Olt and Mehedinti.
