Lacul Verde (Ocna Sibiului)

Lacul Verde (literally Green Lake) is a natural freshwater lake of the Ocna Sibiului mine. It is the only major freshwater lake of the mine, with the other lakes being salt lakes. The Lacul Vrăjitoarelor is also a freshwater lake, but it is too small and the condition is too poor for swimming. Lacul Verde is located in the city of Ocna Sibiului, Sibiu County, Transylvania, Romania.[1]
