Rák lake - Porumbenii Mari - photos
Page no. 1, photos: 1-8, 15 photos in total. >>>
The Rak lake is located 2 km north of the village Porumbenii Mari, at 600 m altitude. The circumference of the lake is 800 m, the length 250 m, width 150 m, maximum depth 7 m, and the surface is 28000 m2 (10 ha together with the joined area). The 10 ha area is protected by the law since 2000.
It is a typical lake formed behind a land-blockage in the Ice age. The lake-forming landslides were the result of the specific rock composition of the area (sedimentary rocks, clayey Mars and sandstones dating from the Neogen age). The lake is the habitat of a rare carnivore plant, the Utricularia vulgaris.

Iron path - Harghita-Madaras 37.52 km away
Amateur filming in Harghita-Madaras, holding the camera by hand in the car, and helmet-mounted on the via ferrata. I climbed an iron path for the first time in my life on the Nyerges cliffs (Stancile Seii), I didn't have the right equipment yet. That's where I fell in love with climbing.

Sheepdogs Govora sheepfold Retezat mountains 194.12 km away
On the second day of my weekend Retezat hike, I visited a sheepfold on the Lancita Ridge. To my great disappointment, they didn't make cheese or curd here. The owners sell the more special types of sheep and rams in the autumn.

Preacher's Rock Bodoc Mountains 65.83 km away
In the Bodoc Mountains, west-southwest from the Henter peak, we find a rock formation shaped like a mushroom by erosion, called Preacher's Rock. This 2-meter high rock probably got its name from the pagan Hungarian priests, who preached here in the past.

Siega Klettersteig Silberkarklamm, Ramsau am Dachstein 877.26 km away
The Siega Klettersteig, categorized as a C/D level of difficulty, is perhaps the least interesting of the three via ferratas in the Silberkarklamm gorge. This doesn't mean that it's not good, just that the other two are even better. :-)

In Vadu Crisului, in the Padurea Craiului Mountains, on the right bank of the Crisul Repede, you can find the newest, in chronological order the fifth Transylvanian, new type of via ferrata route.
