Lake Killer
Situated 24 kms from Gheorgheni and at 983 meters above sea level, it is one of the most beautiful lakes of Transylvania.
The lake was born in the summer of 1837 when rubble from the north-eastern slope of the Gyilkos (’killer’) Rock slid down because of heavy rains. Thus the valley, where several streams flow together, was closed off.
The rubble of the Roșia Montana often coloured the lake red, hence the other name of the lake: Lake V
