Cărpiniș (Comuna Cărpiniş)
Cărpiniș (Weißbuchenau or Gertianosch; Gyertyámos; Грћанош; formerly Gertiamoș) is a commune in Timiș County, Romania. It is composed of two villages, Cărpiniș (commune seat) and Iecea Mică. It also included Iecea Mare until it was split off to form a separate commune in 2004.
The commune is located in the west of Timiș County, 28.6 km from Timișoara and 15.2 km from Jimbolia – the nearest town – and covers an area of 4.15 km2, of which 3.31 km2 Cărpiniș and 0.84 km2 Iecea Mică. In terms of relief, the commune lies within some natural valleys that are part of an old swamp that over time has been drained. On a relatively small area, the relief includes a fertile plain area that is part of the southeast of the Tisa Plain. The relatively smooth surface of the plain imprinted wandering courses with numerous arms and swampy areas on the flowing and retreating waters.
