❤️‍🔥 The color is obtained from iron and manganese ions, which are toxic and kill the trees in it. If you walk here stay away from the water because it causes burns on the body and be aware that it is very likely to give you a headache.

🚗 We parked here: 42.3610788, 24.2130997. There is a short dirt road, but it is accessible for cars.

⏳ It will take you 5 min to the lake from the parking place and about 15 min to explore.
