Also worth it for

A day fishing or watching birds on the shore of a lake with no infrastructure at all

Why it’s worth visiting

Worth it for the birds, the fishing and the expanse of water. If you want to swim, note that the bottom is soft mud.

The story

Lake in the south of Moldova, with wide shores and still water. Reviews describe it as impressive for its expanse, and one visitor says you can even hear the lapping of the water and the seagulls. Pelicans are confirmed outright: one visitor calls it a pelican habitat, alongside spectacular views. It is a good place to fish, mentioned separately. The water is warm in summer, but it has a drawback worth knowing beforehand: the bottom is soft mud, and one visitor describes it as unpleasant. There is no infrastructure at all, and one visitor asks in their review itself whether anything has to be paid, without getting an answer, so it is worth asking on the spot.
