    Tips

    Lacul Roșu is a popular tourist destination. If you come by here by bike, it's worth making a short stop to eat or have a cold refreshing drink. There are enough possibilities to do so. If you want to stay a little longer, you can also rent a boat and paddle a bit on the lake.

      The Red Lake

      Iron-containing clay colors the lake red

      Nicknamed the “Murder Lake”

      In 1838, a forested rock massif slid from a height of 1000 m into the Bicaz. The masses of rubble acted like a natural dam, the pine trees drowned and today only their stumps protrude from the water

      Numerous snack bars on the lake shore
