Lake of St. Anna (Lacul Sfanta Ana)

The lake of St. Anne is the only crater lake in Romania. Located in the crater of the Chumetul Mare volcano at an altitude of 946 meters. According to one version, the last eruption caused a volcanic winter and the subsequent extinction of Neanderthals. Around the lake there is a decreased concentration of oxygen, so animals do not live here .

We walked around the lake and bathed in it, in summer it's possible. The place is quite popular.








Getting there: there is a parking lot for 4 euro near the lake N 46 07.601 E 25 53.479 and other one a little further for 2 euros. It is impossible to reach the lake by public transport. The nearest town is Baile Tusnad, where you can come by train (timetable). Then 10 km on foot or 24 km by taxi.
