На нашей планете существует огромное количество the places that make up the legends. One of them is the Red Lake in Romania. This seemingly ordinary reservoir has long been dubbed the “murderer,” linking many mystical stories with it. Where is the lake? What makes it so interesting?
Mountain lake is located in the northeastern partcountries, near the Bicaz gorge. The coastline is almost three kilometers, so it can easily be bypassed in an hour. This is a natural lake, which was formed without human intervention.
По сравнению со многими другими водоемами Земли, it's pretty young. Often the formation of lakes take tens, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of years. Red Lake in Romania appeared only in 1837. Perhaps that is why there are so many legends about him.
One of them says that it used to be herelarge pasture. Once during a thunderstorm, local shepherds died along with sheep. Part of the rock broke off, blocking the river, and pasture filled with water. The next morning, the villagers saw the lake, red with the blood of the dead.
Хотя образовался водоем действительно после heavy rainfall and the collapse of the rock, the water itself is in its usual color. But the soil around - red. Its particles fall into the water with the wind, giving it a slightly purple hue. In Romanian, the water body is called Lacu-Rosh, which literally translates as “Lake Red”. The depth of the reservoir is only ten meters, and its shape is elongated and resembles the Russian letter "G".
What legend does without a beautiful girland a young man in love with her? If the first legend is realistic and, in principle, could be true, then the second story is more romantic. It is her and tell most of the tourists who came here.
She tells about the young beauty Esther, whofell in love with no less handsome guy. This love was very strong, and most importantly - mutual. The young man was also crazy about Esther and even proposed to her. But not everything is so smooth. Right on the eve of the wedding, the guy was taken to the army.
The girl was very upset by separation.She often came to the mountain river to be alone and think about her beloved. One night she saw a robber. He was amazed at the beauty of the girl and immediately offered her hand and heart. The robber promised to take her to the mansions and present her with expensive clothes and jewels.
Esther refused, therefore, without thinking twice, hestole it The girl did not want to be with unloved. She began to ask the rocks for help, and they obeyed. The mountains began to shake, huge stones collapsed, falling asleep robber and Esther. At the same time, they blocked the course of the river, and a small lake was formed.
Недалеко от озера расположено ущелье Биказ.It appeared thanks to the eponymous river, from the sleeve of which Red Lake was formed. Bicaz is the longest and deepest gorge in all of Romania. It connects its two provinces: Moldova and Transylvania.
Inside the gorge along the river stretches the road.She is extraordinarily beautiful and exciting. Above the narrow asphalt strip hang tall mighty rocks. The river did not make its way straight, it often squirmed and turned back, so the road twists like serpentine.
Approximately six and a half hectares of territoryaround the gorge enter the protected area. There are many interesting species of animals. Trout is found in rivers, and in the rocks themselves there is a rare local bird - the red-winged stenoglaz.
The steep mountains of Bicaz are very much loved by climbers, but alsofor tourists of another rank there is something to see. For example, you can explore the Waterfall Cave and the Black Cave. And finally, climb to the peaks of Sukhardul Mick, located directly above Red Lake in Romania.
Due to its not quite typicalorigin, the lake has become a real highlight of the country. He is popularized, and legends about him are cherished and actively spread among visitors. Not far from the reservoir there are a lot of tents with souvenirs, restaurants and cafes, hotels.
The place where the lake is located has charmand covered with a veil of mystery. This is not surprising, because it is surrounded by the Carpathian Mountains, covered with coniferous trees. When the lake was formed, the banks of the river flooded, and part of the forest was under water.
Деревья крепко держаться за дно водоема, а fragments of their trunks look out. Just so swim here, perhaps not worth it. However, a boat trip is quite feasible. Through the efforts of local travel agencies, all conditions have been created for this.
