Hi!
My name is Vlad.
I like spending my summer holiday at Ciucaş Lake from Tuşnad Spa
Tuşnad Spa is a very nice town in The Eastern Carpathians located in Ciuc Valley, between
Harghita and Bodoc Mountains. In the middle of the town there is this small and beautiful lake
surrounded by mountains. In picture can be seen a beautiful restaurant (left side) and a spa with
swimming pool (right side). Interesting is the fact that this lake was initially a swamp, transformed by
man for touristic reasons, using the water of a river.
My best holiday ever was last year, when I visited Puturosu Montain and Saint Ana Lake
Puturosu Montain is a volcanic mountain situated on southern part of Eastern Carpatians. It is
made of sediments from Cretaceous Age and is plenty of emanations of gases (mainly sulphur) which
give un unpleasant smell in the air. The mountain has also, mineral waters. In image is presented
Sulphuric Cave, a room with emanation of sulphuric gas, used by visitors for therapeutically purposes.
Saint Ann Lake is a beautiful volcanic lake, the only one of this type in Romania situated nearby
Tuşnad Spa and Puturosu Mountain presented before. It is placed on the bottom of Ciomatu Mountain’
s crater and has 7 meter in depth. The lake has no springs the source of water is only the rain. Nearby
Saint Ann Lake there is Tinovul Mohoş, a volcanic lake in the past, colmatated by ash from another
volcanic eruption and turned into a swamp, nowadays a protected area as natural reservation.
Hello! My Name is Karina and I love Red Lake

The Red Lake (Lacu Rosu) is a natural storage dam lake and is situated at the foot of Hasmasu
Mare Mountains, somewhere near the town Gheorgheni .The lake seems dark and threatening. It is
the largest natural mountain lake in Romania
Many tourists have been visiting this area, being attracted by the natural beauty of the lake
and by the riches of the fauna and flora. The animals that live in the area are the following: the lynx,
the chamois, wolves, stags and wild boars.
