The dam was built according to the design conducted by Eng. Dimitrie Leonida as a “weight” dam, the largest of its kind in Romania. Being 127m high, it ranks third in the country and ninth in Europe, in terms of height. From the pinnacle in Hangu, tourists can admire the amazing nature and be enraptured by the perfect reflection of Ceahlău Massif (“The Pawn”) in the still waters of Lake Izvorul Muntelui. There are plenty of accommodations to choose from, whether nearby the lake, or at one of the guesthouses in the area. Angling lovers can practice their skills here, while kayak lovers can take part in Bicaz Kayak Fest.
