Lake Râușor is a man-made reservoir on the Râul Târgului, 14 km from Câmpulung Muscel. The reservoir and its dam were built in 1985 to supply water and generate electricity. The dam is 118 m high and 386 m long.
For resort guests it is one of the most relaxing half-day trips: the road climbs gently up the Râul Târgului valley, through the forest, to the crest of the dam.
From Câmpulung, drive up the Râul Târgului valley, about 30 minutes by car.
2-3 hours: walk along the dam crest and take photos at the dam.
Summer and early autumn, for the colours on the surrounding mountains.
