Malacofaunistic investigation of the flood plain and the inundation area of the Maros River in the surroundings of the Bezdin Monastery - Klára Váncsa Resume Between Arad City and the Romanian - Hungarian border, along the lower reach of Maros River, the "River Mures Flood Plain Natural Park" was founded at the beginning of 2005. On the territory of Hungary, the natural park situated in Romania connects with the Körös-Maros National Park forming one unit with that. From amidst the nature conservation areas of the Natural Park the Nature Reserve of Nagyporond {Prundul Mare) is the most significant area of the lower reach of Maros River from geologic and ecological as well as cultural historic points of view. The hundreds-year-old Serbian Orthodox monastery is situated also here fitting into the landscape in a harmonic way (Figure 3, Photo 2). In 2000, in the framework of "the valley of Maros River as an écologie corridor" research project, we carried out the malacological survey of the lower part of the river valley in the surroundings of the Bezdin Monastery adjacent to Munar village. At that time, this area was not protected yet. We chose this area since here very much biotopes of different composition could be found relatively near to one 59
