The special bird and animal protected area Dorohoi-Saua Bucecei is situated at the contact of Moldova plain with the high plateau of Suceava. Because of its geologic composition and the varied action of the denudation factors, the area presents both high hills such as Dealu Mare-Tudora as well as large sadlles, like Şeaua Bucecii, which connects Siret area to the lower Botosani City. In the saddle area, the peaks are beveled, the rare altitudes are above 350 m, the valleys are large and not very deep.
