Bâlea Lake

One of the Best Places To Visits in Cârțișoara Top-rated.online cuts through the clutter, highlighting only the reviews that are most helpful, earn the most likes, or come from the most active contributors. If you can, take the cable car to the top. The views are incredible and well worth the cost (about US$12 each way). If you can and you have time, I'd recommend you to leave your car at the bottom of the most curvy part of Transfagarasan road and hike the trail that goes to Balea lake passing through Balea cascade. It's about 10 km climb of about 875 m of positive elevation gain. The path is amazing, and the cascade an spectacle, but be aware cause you cand meet some bears during the way. The lake is the final prize and it won't dissapoint you. At the summit there are a lot of tents and stalls where they make some delicious typical cake with the shape of a roll called "Kurtos". This is definitely worth the drive, absolutely beautiful views and very fun roads to drive if you are a car enthusiast. I recommend driving it in the morning during the summer if you want to have fun on the roads with minimal traffic. This place is a shame. A stunning natural lake has been turned into a dirty, chaotic bazaar. Stalls, smoke, garbage, and noise everywhere. No respect for nature, no organization. Authorities are asleep while one of Romania’s most beautiful treasures is being destroyed in front of everyone. Amazing place and views. We got there by car bur keep in mind that those who suffer from motion sickness may get dizzy. On the way we met 2 small bears. 2 parking lots but one was 60 lei and the other one 20 lei. So keep your eyes open. Otherwise cool destination with great views of the mountains. If you drive from the Bucharest side of the mountain you are able to see lots of bears who are friendly but there for free snacks. Do not offer them food though 🙂 Very beautiful but way to crowded for my taste. You should come on weekdays. You come for the lake but market makes you stay longer. Lake is a beautiful sight and market offers Romanian traditional. Be prepared to pay for entrance to toilet so bring cash.
