About the place

The lake was laid out around 1900 in a backwater of the Olt, and visitors went boating on it. In 1928 it became a bathing area, with an entertainment spot on the north shore, according to Hungarian Wikipedia. Today paths run all around it and a wooden pavilion stands on the water.

On the shore is the Wellness Tușnad centre, opened in December 2013, with a swimming pool, a thermal-water pool, a jacuzzi, saunas and a salt room. Stânca Șoimilor rises above the lake, and the bridge over the Olt next to it is the starting point for the walk to the mofette.

Good to know

  • A walk round the lake is short and fine with small children.
  • For the Wellness Tușnad centre, check the opening hours on its Facebook page before you go.
  • The best view of the lake is from above, from Stânca Șoimilor.
