Nestled in the heart of Southeastern Europe, Romania delicately balances the rugged charm of its Carpathian landscape with the historical and architectural grandeur of its urban centres. Its rolling mountains and unspoiled countryside play host to a rich biodiversity, including Europe’s largest population of brown bears. Romania is perhaps most famous for its mythical region of Transylvania, the alleged home of the legendary Count Dracula, with the Bran Castle adding a layer of atmospheric mystery. From the vibrant Bucharest that's a blend of the contemporary and historic, to the remarkably preserved medieval towns such as Sighisoara, Romania offers its visitors a world steeped in entrancing folklore, captivating natural landscapes, and an intriguing past.

Located in the northeastern region of Romania, near the stunning Eastern Carpathian Mountains, Lacu Rosu, or "Red Lake," is one of Romania’s natural wonders. Discovered in 1837, the lake was formed due to a landslide and is renowned for its unique reddish hue, a result of the iron oxides found in the region. The lush scenic beauty surrounding the lake attracts a large number of tourists each year. Visitors can indulge in a multitude of outdoor recreational activities, such as hiking, taking a scenic boat ride, and exploring the natural trails and various species of local fauna and flora. Furthermore, one of the most eye-catching features of Lacu Rosu are the tree trunks that rise directly out of the water, relics from the forest that existed before the lake's formation. With pristine natural beauty and distinctive character, Lacu Rosu creates an unforgettable Romanian travel experience.
