When it comes to autumn, maybe a great choice of spending an outdoor afternoon would be Buhui Lake. Situated near Anina, in Anina Mountains, in the Sigismund neighbourhood,it has a surface of 1.6 km , and it is 27 meters deep. It was built in 1908 as an artificial lake, actually as the first artificial lake built on limestone. It used to be a lake with trouts , back in 1936, but today the lake does no longer service this purpose stock.
There are many touristic routes that can be done in the area, there is a spring, a cave( Buhui Cave) which is the second cave in the Banat Mountains.It is also one of the most impressive caves of Banat, having a surface of over 6500 metres. You need special equipment if you want to visit it and a good guide.Buhui chalet, offers you goog accomodation and one of the best tourist guides of Romania, a very passionate man who would tell you stories, legends and facts of these places, as well as a collection of personal photos, with touristic and historic value.
The forest surrending majestically the lake, contains many fabulous tree species such as: pines, fir trees, the green Douglas of America, arins , beeches.
If you are not that lucky as to see it in autumn, you should know that the greatness of this place is fabulous in all of the seasons. Take your time, and go. There will be no regrets, I guarantee!
