Balea waterfall (Cascada Balea) is located in the Fagaras Mountains (Muntii Fagaras) and is one of the numerous waterfalls in Romania. It is also called Urlatoarea Bale and is located at an altitude of about 1200 meters. From a height of 60 meters, the water plunges down there in the fall. From the cable car stadium Balea Lac (Hotel Bâlea Cascadă ) a red marked path leads up to the waterfall.

Photos Balea Waterfall

Many visitors combine a trip to the waterfall with the exploration of the mountain lake Balea Lac, which lies above the waterfall. Those who go up by telecabina also have a good view of Cascada Balea. The water masses are very different. I was there in winter and in some places the water already froze to ice. Also worth seeing is the pass road Transfagarasan, which is open only a few months a year. From Sibiu the Fagaras Mountains are about 75 kilometers away and from Brasov 130 kilometers. The route is well manageable during a day trip. But it is even more beautiful if you spend a night on the mountain plateau.
