Lake Sfanta Ana is the only lake from Romania located in a volcanic crater.
The lake is situated in Ciomatu Mare / Harghita mountains at 950m altitude, in the Natural Park of Mohoș, Transylvania.
The water purity approaches of that of distilled water, with only 0.0029 ml mineral. No animal can survive around Lake Sfanta Ana due to the low oxygen concentration there.
Palynology studies concluded that the history of Lake Saint Anne began about 9,800-8,800 years ago, at the stage of peat bog and shallow lake. It has an oval form and an area of 220,000 m². In winter, the lake is covered with a layer of ice of up to 1 m.

Peleș Castle is a Neo-Renaissance castle in the Carpathian Mountains, near Sinaia, in Prahova County, Romania, on an existing medieval route linking Transylvania and Wallachia. Its inauguration was held in 1883.
By form and function, Peleş is a palace, but it is consistently called a castle. Its architectural style is a romantically inspired blend Neo-Renaissance and Gothic Revival similar to Schloss Neuschwanstein in Bavaria.
A Saxon influence can be observed in the interior courtyard facades, which have allegorical hand-painted murals and ornate fachwerk similar to that seen in northern European alpine architecture. Interior decoration is mostly Baroque influenced, with heavy carved woods and exquisite fabrics.The collection of arms and armor has over 4,000 pieces.
Peleş Castle has a 3,200-square-metre (34,000 sq ft) floor plan with over 170 rooms, many with dedicated themes from world cultures
