Morii Lake, Artificial lake in District 6, Bucharest, Romania

Morii Lake is a reservoir on the Dâmbovița River, held back by the Ciurel dam, a 15 m high structure with a concrete core and earth dikes extending 7 km. The 246 ha basin lies about 6 km from Piața Unirii, between Crângași, Giulești, Militari and the village Roșu. A narrow stone or concrete edging follows the near bank, and a small green island sits near the northern shore.

Work on the reservoir began in July 1985, and on 21 August 1986 the Ciurel sluice gate was closed so the Dâmbovița could fill the basin behind the 15 m concrete dam and 7 km of earthen dikes. Building it on the Giulești marsh required demolishing a church reached by a bridge over the marsh and decommissioning a cemetery.

The northern peninsula called Angels' Island (Insula Îngerilor) covers 32,723 m² and is joined to the shore by a narrow earthen isthmus. Volunteers planted 475 trees there in 2011, and large music concerts have been held on it. Ana Blandiana's poem "Pe Lacul Morii" names the lake.

The lake is easily accessible through Crangasi metro station on Line M1, with straightforward entry to the water's edge. The walking paths around the basin are simple to navigate and good for strolling or jogging.
