Mild hills overlapping, wide deciduous forests, green pastures with sheep flocks, and the mirror of water of Lake Cuejdel bordered by a mountain slope which overturned its course, reveal the picturesque landscape of a mountain lake formed not long ago. This is Cuejdel, a natural dam lake, formed between 1978 and 1991 in Stânişoarei Mountains. With an area of about 281,700 acres and depths varying between 7m and 14m, it is nowadays the largest natural dam lake in Romania. Lake Cuejdel, with many trunks of broken trees coming out of the still surface of the water, is a wild oasis, with captivating specimens of flora and fauna, a landscape changing colors from one season to the next, forever fascinating. You can reach the lake by car, passing through Gârcina commune, traveling 25 km from Piatra Neamţ by car and then 3 km by foot, on a marked wide path, through meadows and ancient decidous forests.
