The Dumbrava Sibiului Natural Park (Template:Lang-ro) (natural park category V IUCN) is a protected area situated in central Romania, in Sibiu County, in administrative territory of Sibiu city.[3]

Description

Dumbrava Sibiului Natural Park was declared a natural protected area by Law Number 5, of March 6, 2000.[4] It consists of a forest area (Dumbrava Forest) crossed by the Trinkbach River, forming on its course three anthropic-type lakes.[5] [clarification needed]

The natural park was a favoured promenade location for inhabitants of Sibiu as early as the 18th century. It is known nowadays for the ASTRA National Museum Complex. The tram line connecting Sibiu with Rasinari can also be seen from there. The Municipal Cemetery, opened in 1907, is located on the south side of the park's woods.[6]
