We drove some 90 minutes to Poiana Pelegii. The road to the Gura Apelor dam is quite good, but then it gets bumpy and narrow, difficult if two cars have to pass in the same time. We drove by Cabana Rotunda, which I understand was the hunting lodge of the Ceausescu family in the 70s. It is now closed, but it looks nice from the outside. We parked our car at Poiana Pelegii (very crowded) and started our hike to Lake Bucura. It is a max two-hour hike, not very difficult and really worth-it. You do need hiking boots, as it is rocky, steep and slippery at times. There are two smaller glacier lakes on the left before reaching Lake Bucura at 2,041m. This is the largest glacier lake in Romania - it has clear, ice-cold water and is surrounded by mountains. From here there is another short path to Peleaga peak at around 2,400m. There were quite a few people camping near the lake, but the place was still quiet. We enjoyed our moments of silence and great panorama in the middle of nature.

A must see in Petrosani, right next to Cheile Banitei (check my review on that place too!). The entrance fee is cheap and worth 100% -> it is well taken care of, with some nice picture spots and the fact that a river flows through it is definitely a plus! Go for it!

Been here with family on a warm summer day , it was a short walk from the parking to the waterfall but it was oh so worth it - there are a few benches there to sit and relax next to the waterfall if you want - it wasn’t as busy as expected but guess it was Wednesday and some people had work to go to - I think it was stunning and loved that it was so tall and clear as well - definitely recommend this place if you’re nearby

Having a fresh juice or eating lunch by this lake at its numerous restaurants after a hot summer day or renting a boat/kayak to explore its surface are some of the best things to do at this lake! Surrounded by forests, this is a place to chill for a couple of days!

The Hateg Lizard Reserve in the Slivut Forest is located on the outskirts of Hateg. From DN66 / E79 (the road that goes through Hateg and goes to Deva), turn left, and then there are 3 km until entering the reservation. At the gate of the reservation there is a cottage, a car park and a reseller with various refreshments and a few souvenirs about the area and from here starts walking, about 1 km to the bumps.
