Bâlea Waterfall, Mountainous waterfall in Făgărăş Alps, Romania.

Bâlea Waterfall, also called Urlătoarea Bâlei, lies in the Făgăraș Mountains between the Moldoveanu and Negoiu peaks, above 1,200 m altitude. It is Romania's largest tiered waterfall, dropping 60 m and marking the lower step of the Bâlea glacial cirque.

The waterfall lies in the Făgăraș Mountains between the Moldoveanu and Negoiu peaks, at over 1,200 m altitude, and forms the lower step of the Bâlea glacial cirque. It is reached from the Transfăgărășan road at Bâlea Cascadă cabin, from where a path marked with a red dot leads to the fall in about 50 minutes.

The waterfall is also called Urlătoarea Bâlei, meaning "the roaring one of Bâlea". The red-dotted trail from the Bâlea Cascadă cabin leads straight to the fall, and the descent to its base is about 50 minutes on foot.

Access is via the Transfăgărășan road to the Bâlea Cascadă cabin; from there a path marked with a red dot leads straight to the waterfall in about 50 minutes on foot. The route is a walk, not a cable car ride.

During winter, when temperatures drop below freezing, the cascading water transforms into massive ice formations that resemble frozen sculptures. These seasonal ice structures create a dramatically different appearance from what visitors see in warmer months.
