Avrig Lake

Avrig Lake (Lacul Avrig) is a glacial lake situated in the Făgăraș Mountains of Romania, in the northeastern corner of Vâlcea County. It is situated at an altitude of 2011 m. The lake surface is about 1.47 ha and the deepest point reaches 4.5 m.

The lake has an approximately trapezoidal shape, with its length reaching around 180 m from east to west, and a maximum width of around 100 m from north to south. It is the origin of the Avrig River.

From a tourist's point of view, Avrig Lake is halfway between Suru Chalet and Negoiu Chalet.

From 2005 to 2008, volunteers cleaned the routes near the lake and the lake bottom down to 1.5 m in depth. More than 1075 kg of waste were collected and transported in backpacks down to the valley.
