Tips

Capyr

August 26, 2021

At an altitude of 640 meters, the lake was artificially created for tourist purposes. Its existence is due to the water of the Olt River, the main watercourse of Băile Tuşnad resort. Ciucaş Lake was established between 1882-1893. Over the years, the lake has enjoyed important redevelopment, including a new swimming pool.

However the water quality is not as good as it used to be, since the inflow of the river Olt was cut off. In the 20th century it used to be a leisure and bathing spot for locals and tourists. After a repurpose some years ago it is not open for swimming anymore. Today it is plagued with algae growth and the ruins of a construction development in the middle of the lake.
