Located in the heart of the Bucegi Mountains in Romania, Lacul Scropoasa is a charming emerald-colored lake surrounded by picturesque scenery. Built in 1929 as an artificial reservoir, it serves to regulate the Ialomița River and has a hydroelectric potential. While it used to be a popular tourist destination with accommodations and camping options, today it offers stunning views and access to nearby attractions like Cheile Orzei, Lacul Bolboci, Cascada 7 Izvoare, and Cheile Zănoagei. Visitors can also explore the tunnels near the lake, which have historical significance from World War II.
