The Blue Lake

Location: In the Old Center of Baia Sprie, look for a street called 23 August(it goes West and it's on a hill). After some walking, climb the low elevation and you reach the small chapel situated on the hill. From there, follow the road that leads in the forest ( look after the red marks). After half an hour of climbing you will reach the Blue Lake - it's almost surrounded by gravel hills. It's a special lake because of the caving-in of an old sulphur mine that transformed the water's color in blue. - - - Up: Photo by rev - - - - - - - - Many tourists head there each year, so there's a wood bench and a touristic map somewhere near. You can swim in the lake, it's not "dangerous". Don't lose this opportunity, it can be quite a nice memory in some times ahead.
In summer, when the sun brightens the lake, it's color transforms in green, making it even more beautiful. There is no fish in the lake because of the sulphur content, neither vegetation.
The uniqueness of this lake makes it famous on the entire continent, except ours( romanians don't tend to know about what wonders they've got).
