Short trip to the Vidraru Lake, Romania, Curtea de Arges
Reviews > Europe > Romania > Curtea de Arges > Short trip to the Vidraru Lake, Romania
We had chosen a longer way to get home (back to the motel) but I'm glad we did so. We had the opportunity to visit the Vidraru Lake, one of the biggest artificial lakes in Romania.
The lake and the barrage also were huge. At first we saw a look-out tower which wasn't very high but we decided to go up to see more of the scenery. When we went up we realised that that was only the first stop to the top:) we climbed a lot of stairs but it worthed it. You could see the lake surrounded by mountains... it was beautiful.
It was strange for me that there was nothing to do besides to go on the top of that hill. There were no restaurants or shops if I remember well... Anyhow, the panorama was really nice, the barrage was so big, you can't imagine... I liked it very much:)

The city’s cultural life is full of events most of them taking place in the Olt County Museum, “Eugen Ionescu”Cultural Centre, Culture House Olt and other similar venues. “Eugen Ionescu” Cultural Centre houses the “Eugen Ionescu” Theater which, due to the fact that does not have a building of its own, it has to organize its activity in other locations. The city also has a county fanfare and a chorus, the “Millennium” Chorus, both of them housed by the above mentioned cultural centre. The Olt County Museum welcomes tourists with its three main collections, the archeology-history, the modern... Read more »
