Description

Balea Lake is one of the most visited lakes in Romania. What is it so special about it? Well, first of all, the road to Balea lake and also the landscape you can admire on that spot are amazing. The lake is also a reservation and near it, in winter, you can find the first ice hotel built in Eastern Europe. Like many of Romania's iconic places, Balea Lake is surrounded by an eerie legend. Moreover, in march 2014, Van Damme was here, at the lake, to film a beer commercial. He was really impressed with the place.

Balea Lake is a glacier lake situated at 2,034 meters (6673 ft) of altitude in the Fagaras Mountains, in central area of Romania. The lake is accessible by car on the Transfagarasan road (an amazing awesome road crossing the Fagaras Mountains) during the summer, and the rest of the year by cable car from Balea Cascadă (Balea waterfall).

The lake is only about 11 meters (36 ft) deep and 360 meters (1181 ft) long. However, it is not a bathing attraction as the temperature of the water can rarely reach 10 degrees Celsius (50F) in summer. There are also summer days when the water temperature hardly reaches 3 C degrees (37F) .
