The area around Tarnita Lake, nestled within the Apuseni Mountains in Romania, is considered the most impressive and magnificent natural area in Cluj County, with its raw beauty and epic scenery of lush green forests, majestic rock formations and exotic flowers and vegetation providing the perfect backdrop to the peaceful, tranquil and glorious Tarnita Lake.
Tarnita Lake is located just 30km from the city of Cluj-Napoca in Romania, and is an immensely popular tourist destination owing to its proximity to the city, as well as its sheer beauty, covering 215 hectares.
Departing from Cluj-Napoca in the morning, we begin hiking in earnest as soon as we reach the lake.
Over the course of the hike we will explore and discover many of the little-used trails that dot the area, with many taking us past and through virgin forests featuring flowers and exotic vegetation. Lucky people will bear witness to the deer, stags and boars that inhabit the area.
The focal point of the hike is the superb Lucaci Stone, a lovely rock formation that offer breathtaking and sweeping views out over the lake, as well as out to the city of Cluj-Napoca.
Later in the day we will head down to the lake and swim in the many hidden bays that exist close by, before heading back to Cluj-Napoca in the afternoon, weary yet satisfied at having experienced this epic part of Romania first-hand.
This is the perfect way to spend a day out of the city Cluj-Napoca and in gorgeous natural scenery – book now to experience!
Drive from Cluj-Napoca to Tarnita Lake, hike most of the day, swim in the lake, return to Cluj-Napoca.

I had a very good experience booking the hike through Explore-Share. Communication with the team was prompt and clear and the booking process was seamless. The trip itself was also just perfect. Uroš was a fantastic guide, highly skilled and talented. The hike felt safe at all times, even on more exposed routes, thanks to him. He was always up to date on the weather forecast and planned the days around it, checked the conditions on the route ahead of me, if needed, discussed and adapted the routes to my level and always made sure I was safe and comfortable. I highly recommend him, as well as Explore-Share.

Explore Share is a really usefull website that has a great overview of reviewed guides for a (in our case) hiking/climbing trip. During the booking I got assigned an assistent for Explore Share that helped solve questions that I might have. Great customer service, and I will come back again.

Guide was very experienced and very patient with us. We learned a lot and he tried to fit in all the knowledge he could in one day, super awesome. A little tough going back and forth to get the trip set up hard to tell if the site is sketchy until you see reviews but all worked out. Ended up with an awesome day with an awesome guide. Overall pretty satisfied and thankful!

It's the 2nd time we have been booking with Explore-Share. The booking was super easy and both Explore-Share and the guide were fast in their responses. We did rafting as a family with 3 kids for the first time in Slovenia. The guide (José) was super nice. He was doing everything he could to make everyone at ease with rafting (he gave clear explanations), have a great team spirit (we were joined by 2 other girls) and have a good time. We had lots of fun and the nature there is so beautiful. Thank you Explore-share and Soca splash for the great afternoon! I would recommend this activity to anyone without a doubt. My kids immediately told me they want to do rafting again soon !"
