About this tour
We start our day, making a short trip to Sovata, to visit the Ursu Lake (The Bear Lake) which has a unique status, holding three records. A first world record is that Ursu is the largest and warmest heliothermal lake in the world, the second record being that it is the only saltwater lake in the world surrounded by a mountain of salt with rich vegetation, due to the volcanic soil that set in time, and the third world record is that the Ursu Lake is the only one in the world whose date of birth is known with an accuracy of one minute. More exactly on 27th of May, 1875, at 11 o’clock.
