Hi! My name is Vlad. I like spending my summer holiday at Ciucaş Lake from Tuşnad Spa Tuşnad Spa is a very nice town in The Eastern Carpathians located in Ciuc Valley, between Harghita and Bodoc Mountains. In the middle of the town there is this small and beautiful lake surrounded by mountains. In picture can be seen a beautiful restaurant (left side) and a spa with swimming pool (right side). Interesting is the fact that this lake was initially a swamp, transformed by man for touristic reasons, using the water of a river. My best holiday ever was last year, when I visited Puturosu Montain and Saint Ana Lake Puturosu Montain is a volcanic mountain situated on southern part of Eastern Carpatians. It is made of sediments from Cretaceous Age and is plenty of emanations of gases (mainly sulphur) which give un unpleasant smell in the air. The mountain has also, mineral waters. In image is presented Sulphuric Cave, a room with emanation of sulphuric gas, used by visitors for therapeutically purposes. Saint Ann Lake is a beautiful volcanic lake, the only one of this type in Romania situated nearby Tuşnad Spa and Puturosu Mountain presented before. It is placed on the bottom of Ciomatu Mountain’ s crater and has 7 meter in depth. The lake has no springs the source of water is only the rain. Nearby Saint Ann Lake there is Tinovul Mohoş, a volcanic lake in the past, colmatated by ash from another volcanic eruption and turned into a swamp, nowadays a protected area as natural reservation. Hello! My Name is Karina and I love Red Lake This is the place where I like to go on holiday.
