Lake Balea is the most popular glacier lake in Romania due to the existence of the Transfagarasan road. Both lakes are part of a 180 ha nature reserve.
Both lakes are located above 2000 m altitude providing habitat for high altitude species like the Alpine accentor, Wallcreeper, Crag martin, Water pipit, Golden eagle, Northern wheatear.
The lakes are located in the Fagaras Mountain range. Acces by car from north coming from either Sibiu or Brasov via road E68, look for road 7C across from Alexandru's Royal Pension and Restaurant. Drive up to Balea waterfall wher you have the option to park and take the 3700 m long cable car up to Lake Balea. If not drive up to the lake where you can find private parking spots for a fee. If you drive through the approx. 850m long tunnel you will able to find free porking spots alongside the winding road but bear in mind that you have to walk back to Lake Balea through the same noisy, windy and car exhaust smelling tunnel. But if you do not shy away from a steep hike you could go to Lake Capra first by a marked trail that starts from an abbandoned hut ( 45.59149710496834, 24.62554784941143 ) or a longer but a more forgiving hike that is marked with a blue line ( 45.59032270955343, 24.632929242749075 )at the next hairpin corner than descend to Lake Balea from Lake Capra. From the south road 7C coming from Bucharesti via Pitesti-Curtea de Arges.
The cable car is functional all year round but it is advisable to contact them beforehand. Be on the lookout for Marmots. They can be seen in pack just above Lake Balea and in the valley coming out of the tunnel going south. The trail linking the two lakes is slippery due to to loose rocks.
