Bocșa - Lacul Dracului Nature Reserve
Lake in Sălaj county
What it feels like
Cool air at altitude, water that mirrors the sky, the smell of pine on the shore. The kind of stillness that resets you.
Lacul Dracului (the Devil's Lake) at Bocșa, a karst lake formed by the collapse of a cave roof, has a mysterious emerald-green colour and an uneven depth. The legend of the bottomless lake and the spectacular colours of its mineral-rich water make it a fascinating local attraction.
Best time to visit
June through September. Higher-altitude lakes may freeze or be inaccessible in winter.
