Slănic Prahova - Green Lake
Lake in Prahova 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.
The Green Lake (Lacul Verde) in Slănic formed after the ceiling of a salt mine collapsed in 1880. The emerald-green colour of its extremely salty water and the lunar landscape around it make it an unusual attraction, often compared to the Dead Sea.
Best time to visit
June through September. Higher-altitude lakes may freeze or be inaccessible in winter.
