Red LakeĀ is a naturalĀ damĀ lake inĀ Harghita County,Ā Romania. It is located in theĀ Hășmaș Mountains, on the upper course of theĀ Bicaz River, and lies at the foot of theĀ Hășmașul Mare PeakĀ [ro], near theĀ Bicaz Gorge, at a distance of 26Ā km (16Ā mi) fromĀ GheorgheniĀ and 30Ā km (19Ā mi) fromĀ Bicaz.

The lake formed following the collapse of a slope due to the earthquake of January 23, 1838 at 18:45, measuring 6.9Ā magnitudeĀ on the Richter scale, VIII intensity.Ā The landslide blocked theĀ course of the Bicaz River and the lake formed behind this dam.

The Red Lake is located between Suhardul Mic and Suhardul Mare peaks on the north side, the Podu Calului Mountains to the south-west, the Licaș and Chișhovoș Mountains to the north-west, the Făgetul Ciucului peak to the north-east, and Muntele Ucigaș (The Killer Mount) to the east.

My personal opinion: We are going here every season and we have the same good time every time, the path is easy and accessibleĀ for everyone. Even sittingĀ next to the lake and enjoying the view makes the trip worth the time.Ā The drive is wonderful up through the mountain pass narrow in places.Ā Everything is beautiful and the path is kept clean.Ā The location provides a well marked (red cross on white background) circular walk around the lake which takes an hour or so. There is parking available although we were staying at Hotel Lacu Rosu, so this wasn’t needed. The location is an excellent stopping off between Gura Humorului and Brasov. There are lots of stalls selling the usual tourist stuff and nearby toilets so even if not staying overnight it is a useful stopping off point. It was very quiet, almost deserted during our mid October visit but can imagine it gets very busy in mid-summer.Ā Please do not...

Almost 200years old natural lake, could possibly dry up by end of the century. Dead tree trunks in the lake tell the story of its quick formation * (see below). Complete walk around it possible in ab 40-60mins (although crossing of the creek (the one near the boats) might be a bit difficult). Some benches also placed around it to sit down. There were boats to rent during the summer, but not all of the lake could be sailed on.. some parts were understandably closed/protected. Cristal clear water, you could see some fish on the top. Some wild ducks also present. Virgin forest surrounding, clean fresh air. Definitely worth the trail walk.

Unfortunately cleanliness of the surroundings was lacking.. no trashbins and way to many toilet papers along the trail. Only one public toilet station (only 3 RON entrance), which was at the end of the market area.

The lake's name come from the hungarian 'gyilkos' meaning killer, then translated to romanian 'roşu', meaning red. The word 'killer/ red' comes from the legend of the lake's formation. A young girl who promised her heart to someone was taken against her will by another to be married.. her cries evoked a huge storm, causing the mountains to shake and rocks to fall and kill her, her robber and the sheep herd of the village. These rocks acted as a natural dam and...

Gyilkos - tó

A BĆ©kĆ”s-szorostól csak pĆ”r kilomĆ©terre fekvő Gyilkos-tó, ErdĆ©ly egyik legszebb torlasztava, mely 983 m tengerszint feletti magassĆ”gban talĆ”lható. A tó fƶldcsuszamlĆ”s, vƶlgyelzĆ”ródĆ”s Ć”ltal jƶtt lĆ©tre 1837-ben. A tóból fenyőfĆ”k Ć”llnak ki . A Gyilkos nevet onnan kapta, hogy a folklór szerint a drasztikusan Ć©s vĆ”ratlanul feltƶltődő tóban nyĆ”jak Ć©s pĆ”sztorok leltĆ©k halĆ”lukat. A kƶrnyĆ©k meseszĆ©p , valódi lĆ”tvĆ”nyossĆ”g a magashegyi vidĆ©k : haragoszƶld rĆ©tek, mezők , legelƵk, sietős szĆ”guldó patakok, hatalmas fenyvesek, tekervĆ©nyes kacskaringós utak, magasztosan meseszĆ©p lĆ”tkĆ©ppel . LegszĆ­vesebben 100 mĆ©terenkĆ©nt megĆ”llna az ember nĆ©zelƵdni, fĆ©nykĆ©pezni. NehĆ©z elszakadni ettƵl a csodĆ”latos helytƵl, de ha elindulunk a HagymĆ”s-patak vƶlgyĆ©n keresztül, rƶvidesenn elĆ©rhetünk a 983 m magasan elterülƵ pĆ”ratlan termĆ©szeti ritkasĆ”ghoz, a Gyilkos-tóhoz. OrbĆ”n BalĆ”zs a ā€žSzĆ©kelyfƶld leĆ­rĆ”saā€ cĆ­mű művĆ©ben nem leplezi csodĆ”latĆ”t, amikor Ć­gy Ć­r: ā€ž A legmeglepƵbb, a legelragadóbb kĆ©pek egyike Ć”ll elƵttünk. MĆ©g ma is, aki felsƵ OlaszorszĆ”g nagyszerű Ć©s SvĆ”jcnak nagyszerű tavait lĆ”tta, bĆ”mulattal fog e lĆ”tvĆ”ny elƵtt megĆ”llni. Nagyobbszerű tünemĆ©nyt talĆ”n igen, de szebbet, vonzóbbat bizonnyal nem rejtenek a havasok keblƶkben.ā€ EnnĆ©l megragadóbban aligha lehetne szólni SzĆ©kelyfƶld egyik legelbűvƶlőbb termĆ©szeti ritkasĆ”gĆ”ról. 1837 egyik tomboló Ć­tĆ©letidőnek Ć©jjelĆ©n a semmibƵl kĆ©pződƶtt. A gyilkos-hely szĆ©tĆ”zott fƶldje lecsĆŗszott a szurdokba Ć©s elrekesztette az ott folyó HagymĆ”s, CohĆ”rd, VereskƵ Ć©s Likas patakok medrĆ©t. Az Ć­gy lĆ©trejƶtt gĆ”t hatĆ”sĆ”ra tóvĆ” duzzadva alakult ki ez a termĆ©szeti külƶnlegessĆ©g. A tó lĆ©trejƶttĆ©nek szĆ”mtalan mondĆ”jĆ”t alĆ”tĆ”masztja a titokzatos, sejtelmes atmoszfĆ©ra, melyet a tó medrĆ©bƵl mĆ©g ma is kiĆ”lló megkƶvesedett fatƶrzsek lĆ”tkĆ©pe tesz mĆ©lyrehatóvĆ”. A lĆ”tvĆ”nyos benyomĆ”st a tó kƶrĆ© tƶmƶrülő csĆŗcsok teszik lenyűgƶzővĆ©, Ćŗgymint a Kis-CohĆ”rd (1352 m), Nagy-CohĆ”rd (1507 m) Ć©s a Gyilkos-kƵ (1406 m). A tó vize gyakorta Ć©s rendszeresen vƶrhenyes szĆ­nű, amely nevĆ©hez tĆ”rsĆ­tva mĆ”r-mĆ”r borzongatóan fĆ©lelmetesen hat. A bűnős a jelensĆ©gben a VereskƵ-patak, amely nagyobb csapadĆ©kozĆ”s idejĆ©n kioldja a kƶrnyezet vasokker tartalmĆ”t, Ć©s megszĆ­nezi a tó vizĆ©t. A mĆ­tosz mĆ”sik verziója mindazonĆ”ltal az Ć”llĆ­tĆ”sok ellenĆ©re konokul tartja magĆ”t, mely szerint a tó kialakulĆ”sakor a fƶld csordapĆ”sztorokat is maga alĆ” temetett, s az Ƶ vĆ©rük festi vƶrƶssĆ© a vizet. A tó kƶrül magas szintű idegenforgalmi ellĆ”tĆ”s jƶtt lĆ©tre, a BĆ©kĆ”s-szoros kƶzellĆ©tĆ©nek jóvoltĆ”ból. Amennyiben csak nĆ©hĆ”ny órĆ”t tƶltünk a Gyilkos-tó kƶrnyĆ©kĆ©n, akkor is bĆ©reljünk csónakot, amivel a kidƵlt fenyƵcsonkok kƶzƶtt ügyesen taktikĆ”zva csónakĆ”zhatunk a tó egy rĆ©szĆ©n. EmlĆ©kei kƶzƶtt majd csodĆ”latosan nagyszerű helyet foglal majd el az az egy, vagy fĆ©l óra, amit a tavon tƶlt. BĆ©ke, csend , harmónia, elragadó termĆ©szeti szĆ©psĆ©g , rejtelmes hangulat, kihĆ­vĆ”s, mellettünk szelĆ­den Ćŗszó tƵkĆ©srĆ©cĆ©k, kƶrbe-kƶrbe impozĆ”ns Ć©s grandiózus hegyormok, kristĆ”lytiszta levegƵ. Ugye jól hangzik? Akinek tƶbb ideje van, mindenkĆ©ppen sĆ©tĆ”ljon fƶl a Kis-CohĆ”rd-sziklĆ”hoz (kĆ©k hĆ”romszƶg jelzĆ©s kb. mĆ”sfĆ©l óra oda-vissza), ahonnan kĆ”prĆ”zatos lĆ”tvĆ”ny az ajĆ”ndĆ©kunk a Gyilkos-tóra Ć©s a kƶrnyĆ©k meseszĆ©p hegycsĆŗcsaira. A kƶrnyĆ©k, a Gyilkos-tó Ć©s a BĆ©kĆ”s-szoros 1996-tól nemzeti park. Egy kƶnnyed sĆ©ta alkalmĆ”ból Ć©rdemes a tavat kƶrbe is kerülni, hiszen jól jĆ”rható, jelzĆ©ssel ellĆ”tott ƶsvĆ©nyen fedezhetjük fel ezt az egyedülĆ”lló...

Amazing views, and definitely worth visiting the Red Lake. There’s public parking available, and you can pay for it by card. The pony rides are great fun for small kids. The boat rides, however, only accept cash, which isn’t ideal—but still a nice experience if you come prepared.
