Situated only a few kilometres from the city of Bacău, Lake Răcăciuni is currently a category IV nature reserve (birdlife reserve), as a result of Government Decision No 2151 of 30 November 2004. The protected area extends over the administrative territories of several municipalities (Cleja, Gioseni, Horgești, Faraoani, Pâncești and Răcăciuni) and covers an area of about 2000 hectares.
The lake was formed following the commissioning of the Răcăciuni hydropower plant in 1984. It has a length of about 13 kilometres and is the third largest lake in terms of water volume in the county, after the lakes of Valea Uzului and Berești, and represents the largest protected lake area in Bacău County.
Beyond the figures: the lake has a marvellous view and is a good place to spend leisure time. Also near the lake, passing on the left bank between Râcâtâu and Dieneț, are the ruins of the Dacian fortress of Tamasidava, which is considered the SECOND Dacian fortress in terms of importance and size!
Taking advantage of the good weather and vibrant autumn colours, the last weekend of October was spent in nature, in the beautiful places around Bacău. On Saturday, 26 October, we walked the Magura-Negel-Sohodol trail. A route that climbs up the Negel Valley, crosses some beautiful floodplains and paths through the forest and then returns to Magura via Sohodol, where we have a beautiful view over the city. It was an event organised by the Municipality of Măgura together with Via Bacovia.
The last Sunday in October was spent hiking on the Valea Dragă-Buchila-Ciciola trail and then relaxing on the water of Lake Racăciuni, near Tamasidava. So many great places in one day!
