Lacul Albastru, Nature reserve in Baia Sprie, Romania.
Lacul Albastru encompasses a protected area of 0.5 hectares at an altitude of 530 meters near the Gutai Mountains in Maramures County.
The lake formed in 1920 following the collapse of an old mining gallery, creating a water-filled depression in the landscape.
The protected site illustrates the industrial heritage of Maramures region through its connection with historical mining activities in Baia Sprie.
Visitors can access the lake via marked trails starting from behind the Catholic church in Baia Sprie, with a walking duration of 35 to 45 minutes.
The water changes color throughout the seasons due to its chemical composition of iron sulfate and melanterite, shifting between blue, green, and brown shades.
