The village is placed into an open to north depression of Niculiţel Plateau, at the foot of Niculiţel Hills. The locality seems to be settled into a natural fortress with a single gate, the northern one.

The landscape is characterized by maximum altitudes of 300 m, by the presence of rounded summits, rocky steeps and slopes especially in the northern part. Niculiţel Massif, 300 – 400 m high, is a prolongation of the ancient Măcin Mountains. The massif foot has natural conditions favorable for fruit tree growing and viticulture.

The actual relief may be presented as a succession of hills, foot of slopes and plain.

The vegetation, mostly consisting in Balkan forests, glades and isolated trees form a landscape ensemble specific for Dobrudja. Between the species of plants identified in the region, some are protected at international level: bellflower, pink, thyme, crocus, mercury.

Fauna elements are diverse and it consists of species of insects, ground reptiles (viper, turtle), mammals (deer, wild cat, badger and rarely wolf and wild boar) and birds (white stork, long-legged Buzzard, Booted Eagle, Common Buzzard, kestrel, cuckoo, hoopoe, swallow).

The climate is characterized by long hot and dry summer and mild winter. Due to the placement into a plain, forest and swamp zone, the climate is more mild and humid than that specific to the rest of Dobrudja. The year average temperature is 10.8°C and the average quantity of precipitations is 527 mm/year.

The landscape value is increased by the existence of some points which offer a great view of Niculiţel Depression and its surrounding hills as well as of Danube Holm.
