2.  Snagov (population: 6,041) is a commune,
located 40 km north of Bucharest in Ilfov
County, Romania. According to the 2002 census,
99.2% of the population is ethnic Romanian. The
commune is composed of five villages: Ciofliceni,
Ghermănești, Snagov, Tâncăbești and Vlădiceasca.
Snagov is a popular holiday resort, and many villas
have lately been built on the shores of Snagov lake.
 The name is of probably Bulgarian origin, from
the word sneg (meaning "snow"). It might also
derived from the Bulgarian snaga, meaning "human
body".

3. Archeologists confirmed human presence of
inhabitants since 400 BC. Snagov village was built
around the Snagov monastery, founded in the late
14th century on an islet in Lake Snagov, about 2 km
north of Snagov village. The first written record of it
is found in a document from the court of Mircea cel
Bătrân and dated 1408. Snagov monastery was
excavated in 1933 by archaeologist Dinu V. Rosetti.

4.  Located 25-30 km outside Bucharest, occupying
an area of approx. 600 ha and with a length of 16
km, Lake Snagov is a river edge, the most
important one on the lower Ialomița course. Due to
its maximum depth of 9 metres, this is the deepest
lake in the Romanian Plain area.
 The shape of the lake is elongated and very
sinuous, with many bays. The downstream area
features the island that hosts the Snagov
Monastery. The biodiversity of the area is formed of
4,200 species of fauna and flora, of which
approximately 1,200 species are protected by law
and 42 of them are even red listed.

5.  The fish fauna, which attracts numerous
amateur fishermen, is remarkable enough by
the existence of 16 fish species: bleak, rudd,
roach, bream, carp, Crucian carp, Prussian
carp, tench, two species of gobies, eel,
European perch, pumpkinseed, pike, zander,
catfish. Sport fishing is allowed on Lake
Snagov only outside the protected area (at a
minimum distance of 500 metres upstream and
downstream from it).
