Photographers Note
The Gyilkos tó (Killer Lake in Hungarian) or Lacul Roşu (Red Lake in Romanian) is situated in Romania, in the Eastern Carpathians It is situated at 983 m elevation, it has about 12 hectares total surface area.
The lake is a natural dam-lake, which formed in 1837, due to a massive landslide, when limestone rocks and clay from the nearby Gyilkoskő (Killer stone) Peak rolled down in the valley and blocked the watercourse of a small stream. Nowadays hundreds of tree trunks stand out all around from the water, as the calcareous and iron oxide rich water preserved the wood.
