Access
The Drasov Fishponds are located between Sebes (west) and Sibiu (east), near Drasov village. Acces by highway E81 from either direction, off-ramp at Cunta village. Alternative acces by national road 7, take the 106I road via Cunta village. Parking is on the shoulders of an agricultural road near the northern ponds. Press P on the map for directions. Acces to the southern string of ponds is through road 104D that starts right before Drasov village at the gas station. Parking on 104D is a bit difficult, the road is narrow. Try the shoulders where it is wide enough. To visit all the lakes allow yourself about 2+ hours.
