About Lacu Rosu

Lacu Rosu, meaning "Red Lake," is a picturesque natural lake located in the Eastern Carpathians of Romania, within Harghita County. It was formed over 6,000 years ago by a landslide that blocked the Bicaz River, creating a unique and serene body of water surrounded by dense forests and towering mountains. The lake’s name derives from the reddish sediment that colors its waters. This destination is ideal for nature lovers, hikers, and those seeking tranquility away from urban centers. Visitors can enjoy the peaceful atmosphere, explore nearby caves, and take boat rides on the lake. The area is also rich in biodiversity and offers a glimpse into traditional Romanian mountain village life. Its combination of natural beauty, outdoor activities, and cultural charm makes Lacu Rosu a compelling destination for travelers seeking both adventure and relaxation.
