Hello everyone and Happy Saturday! 💓
Three weeks ago I have visited this beautiful nature place in Romania, called Lake Firiza. 🍂🍁
It is located in Maramures County, in the Nothern parts of my beloved Romania. This whole area, and by that I mean Maramuresc County, it's known for their local traditions and picturesque landscape. Some of these lands in Romania are still the same as ages ago. Their houses have an unique architecture, the front gate is made out of massive wood and its like a dome. Unfortunately, my visit here wasnt more than two days, and I didnt get to experience their traditions, their local habits and their local handmade products. Definitely other time. (And plus, November isnt quite the perfect month to be exploring here).
Anyways, about Lake Firiza.
The Firiza lake or the Stramtori Firiza Dam was built to supply drinking water to the municipality of Baia Mare.
The dam was put into operation in 1964, has a height of 52 meters and an area of 113 hectares.
📍 Location: On the road from Baia Mare to Firiza, approximately 23 km from Baia Mare.

Best way to acces the lake is through the Touristic Complex Simared.
Simared Nautical Club
The services here are more than enough so everyone can have a really good time. Defintely summer is the best season to explore the area and have fun, but I think Spring and early Autumn are just fine as well.
Here's a list of what to expect here:
- Boat Rides : they will take you with en electric boat on the lake for 45 minutes and it costs 8 euros. The departure is every two hours.
 |  |
|---|
- Restaurant and Bar : we didnt try their food as we already ate before, but we have had some drinks (and by the way, the staff were very friendly). The restaurant and the terrace is quite big and the place is very beautiful and modern. The view is also amazing from the roof terrace.
 |  |  |
|---|
- Kayak, Hydrobike, Paddleboard for rental : the price is around 6€/hour.
 |  |  |
|---|
- Jungle Park : this one is for kids and it looks amazing. By the time we arrived in November, it was the first weekend to be close. So they are open from Spring to October. My kid was super dissappointed for being closed but thats how things were.
The Aventura park is into the woods and they have some nice trails up there. I'd really loved to find it open for guests!
 |  |
|---|
- Playground : they also have this little playground near the restaurant. It's not much but I think it's enough for small kids to keep them buzy for a half an hour.

I didnt see it in Summer, but I think my favorite Season to visit will be early Fall. I just love the colors, don't you agree? 🍂🍁
The yellow, the orange, the red .... and how the colors reflect in water ...I found it simply amazing. I loved this scenario very very much!
Probably in the warm season it's much more crowded and loud. Now I only could find peace and serenity here.
If it's not too much: here I'm adding a few ideas about the history of this place and the Club itself.
The Simared Nautical Club, founded in 1973, has written and is still writing pages in the history of water sports in Romania. In its almost 50 years of performance, athletes have grown here who have reached the national team and the most titled kayak-canoe clubs in Romania, Dinamo and Steaua.
Currently, 10 performance athletes train here, who in 2021 monopolized the podium at the National Speed Championship. Between the ages of 14 and 18, these young people carry the fame of the Simared Club further, through hard training and results to match.
With over 20,000 supporting members, the Simared Nautical Club is the largest water sports club in Romania.
They have transformed the sports base on the shores of Lake Firiza into a recreational base for their members in order to provide constant support to the athletes who train there, both for training and for participating in competitions and championships.

A little but of History :
Founded in 1973, within IMMUM Baia Mare, the Simared Sports Club was and is still today among the most important kayaking-canoeing clubs in Romania.
The club's athletes have participated in the Olympics, World, European and National Championships, representing Maramures and Romania more than honorably, in any competition.
The name of the club SI MA RED is related to the IMMUM factory’s business – machine systems and reducers.
During the communist period, sports associations were established next to large factories and plants and were financed by the General Union of Trade Unions of Romania. This is how the SIMARED club was founded, within the Mechanical Enterprise of Machinery and Mining Equipment (IMMUM) in Baia Mare.
In 1973 – 1980: first gold medals at the Nationals.
In 1981-1990: SIMARED got to international level section.
In 1991-2001: Geza Magyar writes history for SIMARED
In 2001 – 2010: SIMARED athletes in the National team

I have a load of posts perfectly matching Fall season, places I have visited over the last two years but I think this year I can't do more. One more week and we will be in December. Wow! It's truly unbelievable how fast this year passed.
Anyways, I hope you guys will enjoy my post!
I wish you all a wonderful weekend! 💓

Very nice description of fall you caught in your post, we visited this place in the summer season and honestly it was as beautiful as now seen in your post.
When we visited Lake Firiza we didn't get to experience the lake ride on that 100% electric boat, and yes, we'll leave some things to do for the next time we come back here.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Maybe we'll get to go together hahha. Caleb really wants to go to Aventura Park. And I know someone who might want as well 🤣🤣🤪
yes I know someone who would go to an adventure park right now, but for that we need a little patience.
I know hehe.
I'm waiting for years to pass by and go the all of us. Not neccessarily yoi boys, but the rest of us. The big "big children and the little ones" 🤣🤣
For some reason, I can see just a few of those pictures but I love them and I´m sure the rest that didn´t upload is just as beautiful :) Amazing place.

The lake with the autumnal colours looks amazing 😍😍😍
Right? 🍂🍁🧡
Thank u for stopping by.
thanks for these great photos! Nature is wonderful!
golden leaves look so amazing
but I like tree reflections in the water the most
this place can give deep relaxation and recharging, yeah?
Yes, I think that the reflection in the water is splendid as well!
How are u? We didnt speak in ages 😘🥰
yeahh! and I do miss you and stories about Caleb!;) I was sure you have no new posts, don't know why. Now I see you have them and I have much to read in your page;)
It's true I am more absent these days and the whole year it was this way and unfortunately I know I will yet to be quite some time but I'll try my best 🤪...I have news for you, but I didnt speak about it here. Just imagine that by the end of the year I'll have a lot of white nights 🤣🤣👩🍼🤰.
mmmmm......white nights?:) what does it mean.....;) are you pregnant???:)
White nights means that you stay awake and no sleep. 🤣🤣🤣
Yes, I am; very very pregnant LOL 🤣🤣, 8months +. Hahaha 🤪💙
really???? My God, what happiness!!!!!! my congratulations, dear!!! How I am happy for you!! we say "deeply pregnant";))))
Yeah, I know what "white nights" mean, but it was a metaphor from you, so the first my thought was about a baby! That's the reason why you were not active all this time? You're wise and right you've saved these moments for your family. Are you ok??? Very very soon a baby will come:) I am SO happy!! Maybe becayse I think of the second baby more and more often and stare at babies and pregnant women with deep love and warmth;))
¡Beautiful places to visit, amazing work!

Thank u!
The colorful forest and the mirror-like lake give a gorgeous image of autumn.
Beautiful place for relaxation and walking. I'm glad for your short autumn vacation.
I'm also glad to read another blog from you.
I hope you had a pleasant weekend like a vacation!
Now I'm waiting for the election results, I still have a few minutes to find out... and I'm scared.
I am very grateful for this short weekend away too. It was truly enjoyed and with this view, I think that I got to feel the Fall vibe much more...only because of the scenary.
Well, the elections are over, I hope you got the result u wanted! We were for voting too. We are all scared and everytime a new president is changing...there are risks, fears and hope as well.
I completely agree. I shouldn't be the only one satisfied with the outcome; it should be good for everyone. It wasn't what I expected because I don't like drastic changes, and unfortunately, democracy also means the votes of those who don't understand what's happening and can be easily fooled. We're living in dangerous times, and I hope we'll get through this—for the sake of our children. I'm sorry for saying all of this, but I believe you won't be upset with me even if you don't agree.
Politics are always difficult. I never argue on politics, dont worry. I dont get upset even if or when someone is having a different opinion than me. I dont know who you voted too, but I am ok with what we have voted.
I'm curious though to see how it ends after two weeks.
It is good to relax in the political area and just be curious.
You obviously have no memories of the 90s and what politics was like then, how passionate and emboldened people were then.
Fall, nature, is much more beautiful and healthy for us. Let's enjoy that and the sunrises or sunsets that you can see from your garden.
Well, I'm not sure we're relaxed with the elections. We werent indifferent and for that we tried our best to decide on who to vote. Right now, there's nothing else to do besides wait and go voting again in two weeks.
We all are hopping for the best.
I don't think you're relaxed either, I said so to see your reaction.
We must try to do what's best, which is to know what we're doing, and I'm sure you know.
I'm also waiting with hope and curiosity to see how this will turn out.
