Lacul Buhui

Buhui Lake is a reservoir set in the heart of the Anina Mountains, in Caraș-Severin County, in one of the most spectacular karst areas of the mountainous Banat. A dam built to supply water to the Anina-Reșița area, the lake has blended harmoniously into the landscape of forest and rock, offering a setting of particular charm. The area around the lake is renowned for its karst phenomena, among them caves and watercourses that vanish and reappear in the limestone relief.

The Buhui stream, which feeds the lake, flows partly underground through caves before emerging into the light. The surroundings are part of the Semenic-Caraș Gorges National Park, a protected area of great value for its biodiversity and landscapes. Reached by a route that includes an old forestry railway, Buhui Lake is a destination prized by hikers and nature lovers seeking the quiet of the Banat forests, far from the crowded tourist circuits of the country.
