One of the most beautiful high-altitude lakes in Romania, hands down. With multiple access routes (both from the high ridge and from a national road) this place is heaven on Earth for any mountain enthusiasts, with lots of great camping sites close by. Trails leading here are medium in terms of difficulty. However its popularity has its price: much garbage left behind, people having open-fires near the vegetation and so on. Overlooking these things it will well worth the time spent here. Highly...

Lacul Gâlcescu este declarat monument al naturii, iar împrejurimile constituie o rezervație naturala geologică, floristica, peisagistica si chiar faunistica. Este un traseu nici foarte greu, dar nici ușor având in vedere ca trebuie urcate doua coaste mai anevoioase, iar coborârea pe Hornul Lacurilor necesita atenție. Tot o mare atenție trebuie acordata schimbărilor bruște ale curenților ce fac ca vremea sa se schimbe de la o clipa la alta, vintiacurile fiind piesa...

One of the nicest glaciar lake from Romania. It is easy to go to this lake from Ranca through Transalpina Road till an indicator showing the direction to the lake hiking on the mountain.

Mai detaliat: Pasul Urdele - Hornul Lacurilor: 2 h Hornul Lacurilor - Lacul Galcescu: 30 min Pauza: 1h Lacul Galcescu - Pasul Urdele: 2 h Dificultate traseu: mediu (spre greu) - are 2 zone de urcuș mai solicitante. Lacul Gâlcescu, denumit uneori Câlcescu din Munții Parâng, este un lac glaciar aflat într-o cuvetă de eroziune glaciară, situat în Căldarea Câlcescu din Munții Parâng la o altitudine de 1925 m si o suprafata de 3,2 ha cu o adancime maxima de 9,3 m. Lacul este declarat monument al naturii, iar imprejurimile constituie o rezervatie naturala (geologica, floristica si peisagistica).

The hike to the lake is of medium-hard difficulty (because of the length and a somewhat trickier, rocky part), through some really beautiful landscapes, but once you reach the lake, you realise it was all worth it.
