It is the main stream feeding lake of the same name. With an area of 10 hectares, the lake has a considerable length and an extraordinary natural beauty. Also on the upstream, is located Ice Cave and the Arcanu area.
Traditional Romanian food freshly made.
A chance to stay in the Cheile Butii Gorge, where accommodations are in the form of lodges in conjunction with a restaurant featuring Swedish breakfasts at this mountain resort.
Nestled in the valley, this place has an outdoor pool, waterslide, and ropes course (okay, well that may be at a recreation venue called Park Adventure 'Black Părăul' nearby) to make things fun.
Another enchanting country inn, where you can have some quiche in the morning and bask in the sun by the outdoor pool in the afternoon.
