Vidraru Dam, Romania 🇷🇴
A massive curved concrete dam hidden in the Carpathians that looks unreal, but it is pure engineering
Built in 1966 on the Arges River, it reaches 166 meters in height. Lake Vidraru stretches nearly 10 km and holds about 465 million cubic meters of water. It not only looks stunning but also generates hydroelectric power.
Fun fact
A 10 meter statue of Prometheus was installed here in 1965 as a symbol of energy and power.
Nearby runs the famous Transfagaraşa road, often called one of the most beautiful drives in the world.
