Morii Lake

Morii Lake is an artificial water reservoir in the northwestern part of Bucharest that connects with the Dâmbovița River. The basin helps manage water flow through the city and has walking paths along its perimeter.

This body of water was created in the 1980s as part of Bucharest's comprehensive water management system. It was built to prevent flooding in the capital during heavy rainfall.

The northern section has an island where concerts and outdoor performances take place during summer months. Locals gather here for evening entertainment and to spend time by the water when the weather is warm.

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.

The island in the northern section is being developed for an ambitious project to create a large artificial beach on its surface. This major undertaking would transform how people use the lake and bring swimming opportunities right to the city center.
