Colibita dam lake (Calimani Mountains)


Distance to travel, from the city it is about 45 minutes.

At about 7 km from Bistrita Bargaului is common storage dam, lake and village hut.Despite the road quite badly, patience will be rewarded the most spectacular landscapes.

Colibiţa City, is a mountain village situated on the Bistrita Valley, and mountains between Calimani Bârgău, part of Bistra Bârgăului, about 7 km of this, and about 50 km from the capital of Bistrita-Nasaud, Bistrita, medieval town with the first document of about 746 years ago.

The main attraction is quiet lake that bears his name, hut dam accumulation lake, situated in a wild mountain landscape that combines contrasts, making you reflect on the symbolism of this special world, this piece of heaven.
Because high concentrations of ozone and iodine ions in the area, recommended for treatment of lung and heart diseases, Colibita was known until the '80s that it famous tourist resort and climatic. He followed the demolition and relocation resort village, to allow construction of a hydroelectric reservoir, lake that today spans a length of 5 km and which bears his name, Lake cottage.

Lake formation was a quite interesting to watch and many repercussions in local souls, being formed by flooding of the old towns. The lake bottom can still be seen remains of houses, even the church located in the former center of the village, and trees that guarded the area 30 years ago.

Colibita Lake is the main attraction, offering visitors and locals the opportunity to fish for trout, the pike, chub and even carp, is very interesting that this species "crucian" could adapt well to conditions in the area.
A legend says that the hut place lived an old man named long forgotten by all Santa Gabris, his real name Grigore Pop. Santa Gabris made many prophecies, and after his death in 1944, more than 60 years now, although it was considered nonsense while living, have fulfilled one by one.
This has led locals to believe in his predictions and to assume Santa Gabris as a holy place, who talked with angels. His life is even a book by Professor Titus Wacshmann - Hogiu - Gabris prophet Nostradamus versus the Barge.
The dam lake is built on a foundation of volcanic rocks and the bottom is located almost entirely on sedimentary formations, being built so that it can not be destroyed.
In the summer, a trip to the nearby hills, picking up hay or field flowers, offers a dream panorama of the area.
