1Landslide-dammed lakeLacul Roșu
A lake formed when a slope of Mount Ghilcoș slid into the valley and blocked it; fir trunks still stick out of the water.
It is the lake that gives the resort its name, with a drowned forest whose trunks are still visible.

A 1,345 m limestone crag right above the resort, with a view over the lake and the Hășmaș Mountains; in Hungarian it is Kis-Cohárd.
It is the classic climb from the resort: in just over an hour you see the whole lake from above.
