ビドラル湖のおすすめツーリングルート

Hello. It was in the news that the lake will be emptied this fall of 2025 for the 50 years dam revision. Around end of febr 2026 the dam will be completly drained and the lake bed and bottom parts of the dam will be visible.

The tour offers an incredible experience through a stunning gorge with numerous waterfalls and small lakes where you can also swim. Ladders and footholds require surefootedness, and some passages can only be negotiated with dry feet at low water levels. Bears are primarily encountered along the Transfagarasan, where they like to hang out because they are fed from cars. Since you walk 1.5km along the road and there is no alternative route, you should carry bear spray. The starting point of the tour is not ideal, as you have to drive off-road for a relatively long time, and the road is affected by rockfall. It is better to park in the small parking lot at the switchback where the tour turns off the Transfagarasan into the gorge.

Beautiful trail. It's not really difficult if you want everything is possible... In winter you don't really have anywhere to buy anything but in return there is no crowding and few bears.. Beautiful

Bâlea Lac is an amazing lake to visit. Just by the most famous road in Romania, Transfăgăråșan. Stop by at a restaurant here with a view towards the lake if you feel hungry. Awesome landscape and road to the lake.

Staying overnight in this hostel is recommended due to its prime location. The rooms are clean and simply furnished. The food from the grill is good, breakfast is very regional, simple and good.

My hike required surefootedness and a good level of fitness. Alpine equipment or experience in alpine climbing were not necessary.
