For those who want photos of the lake from above, hiking routes to panoramic viewpoints are a great option.
Panoramic spots
From the Colibița area there are several summits and clearings where you can see almost the whole lake. Local hosts can recommend the best routes for your fitness level.
Gear and safety
Even if some routes look short on the map, elevation gain and changing mountain weather can make them more demanding. Solid footwear and proper clothing are necessary.
