Reservoir with an impressive dam. Always good for a nice photo. If you drive along the lake you will also find some trails that lead down to the water.

Built between 1980 and 1981, the dam has the role of supplying water to the city of Sibiu, the communes of Gura Râului, Cristian, Sura Mare, Ocna Sibiului and Șelimbăr, but it also mitigates the floods and is involved in the production of electricity at the 3.7 MW Cibin plant. The lake behind it is 68 hectares wide and "houses" 15.5 million cubic meters of water. The view of the surrounding area is awesome, the road is paved and the uphill difficulty easy to medium.
