Largest glacier lake at 2,040 m

Highlight (Segment) • Lake

Wonderful glacial lake. Window footwear recommended.
Pack enough to eat as there are no places to stop for a break. Only a water source to fill up the water supplies 🙃

Peleaga Peak (2,509 m)

Highlight • Summit

When you get to the top, you will be rewarded with the view for the effort!😁 But the weather can change quickly. We started in the most beautiful sunshine and on the descent we couldn't see our hands in front of our eyes, it was so foggy.
