Following the road from the Prut Valley between Brănești. and Cobani Villages, we find the landscape reservation named "Suta de Movile" (A Hundred Mounds). This is a unique phenomenon in the space between the Prut and Nistru Rivers. In reality, the mounds are much more than 100 as there are over 3500. They occupy an area of about 1072 hectares, with a length of over 8 km and a width between 1,7 km and 2,3 km. Their heights range between 1,5 m and 30,5 m. The most famous is the ”Gypsy Mound”.
Dimitrie Cantemir, who named in his book "Descriptio Moldoviae" this geological phenomenon as "Centum Monticulli", completed its first documentary attestation in 1716.
