Water is a fundamental element that draws humans magnetically. A visit to the lakes makes for an ideal holiday or at least weekend. We previously discussed about some of the most beautiful lakes in Romania, so today we are going to review other fairy-tale destinations.
Bigar Cascade in the Cheile Nerei National Resort, at times identified as Izbucul Bigar, has been included in the top most spectacular cascades in the world. Situated at the level of the parallel 45, Bigar Cascade is a true natural monument. The water falls on a round stone covered in moss.
The Horses Cascade (Cascada Cailor) is also worth visiting at least once in a lifetime. It is the largest cascade in the country, located in Mont Borsa. At an altitude of 1.3 km, its fall measures 90 m and cascades over the Podul Cailor, dripping through a glacier circle.
Urlatoarea Cascade is very popular due to being located in the Bucegi Mountains. Situated at an altitude of over 1100 m, it is easily accessible through the Bucegi Plain, following the Valea Jepilor path.
Another unique lake in the country is Lake St. Ana, the only volcanic one we can boast of. On an extinguished volcano, Ciomatu, a beautiful place was born, but also a dangerous one. Access is granted either through the town Bixad or through Targu and visiting it requires a guide.
Ursu lake (translated as The Bear’s Lake) is our last stop today and marks another record: it is the largest heliothermic lake on Earth. It welcomes thousands of Romanian and foreign tourists every year due to its salty healing waters. The heliothermic properties are caused by the greenhouse effect produced when the salty water of the lake touches the freshwater above. As for the name, it comes from the shape of the lake, which resembles the hide of a bear.
