Lake Szent Anna is one of the most magnificent natural treasure of Szeklerland in Transylvaia, the only volcano lake in Central and Eastern Europe.

The only Crater Lake in all of Romania, Lake Szent Anna, the serene oasis in the mountains, and the Mohos Swamp are unique and one of the most visited places on the European continent. Their birth is related to the formation of a volcanic mountain range on the inner rim of the Transylvanian basin. From the two “twin” volcanoes, the Lake Szent Anna is the youngest. The lake looks like a giant paint palette. This lake formed in a volcano crater at a 945 meters altitude, being the only volcanic lake in Central Europe. Its length is 620m, its width is 460m, the total length of the lakeshore is 1.73km and its maximum depth is 7m (with an area of 220,000 m2). The lake has no link to any other source of water, it is supplied exclusively from precipitations, therefore the degree of mineralization of the water is very low. All the water in the lake comes from rain.
