About This Spring

## Overview Remeti Spring is a beloved public drinking spring located just outside the village of Remeti in Bihor County, Romania. Nestled along the scenic road leading to the Leșu Dam in the Apuseni Mountains region, this continuously flowing spring has become a well-known stop for travelers and locals alike. The spring enjoys a reputation as a popular water source — so much so that it's common to see cars pulled over and people filling up containers at nearly any time of day. The spring offers 24/7 public access with a continuous, steady flow of water. Visitors have long reported that the water tastes clean and refreshing, and the spring has historically been used as a drinking water source by the surrounding community. The Apuseni Mountains area is known for its karst geology, rich in limestone formations that naturally filter groundwater, which may contribute to the spring's consistent flow and the quality that locals have come to trust. ## Directions 1. Enter Romania at the Borș border crossing and follow the **E60** highway heading east toward Oradea and Bucharest. 2. After approximately **70 km**, turn left toward **Bulz**. 3. Continue along the road past Bulz, following signs toward the **Leșu Dam** (Barajul Leșu). 4. As you approach **Remeti village**, you will encounter a long, sweeping curve in the road just before the village entrance. 5. Look to the **left side of the curve** — the spring is located right there along the roadside. 6. The spring is virtually impossible to miss, as there are almost always vehicles stopped and people collecting water. **GPS Coordinates:** Approximately 46.7°N, 22.6°E (Remeti, Bihor County — note that the listed GPS coordinates of 59.516274, 18.482605 appear to point to a location in Sweden and may be inaccurate; use the directions above and search for "Remeti, Bihor" for accurate navigation). ## What to Expect The spring is right alongside the road, making it extremely easy to access — no hiking or off-road travel is required. Simply pull over onto the shoulder near the spring. The water flows continuously, so there's no need to pump or wait for it to fill. The surrounding area is part of the beautiful Apuseni Mountains landscape, with lush green hills, forests, and the nearby Leșu Dam offering additional sightseeing opportunities. The road to the dam is scenic and well worth the drive, making the spring a natural rest stop along the way. Because this is a roadside spring with no formal facilities, bring your own containers if you'd like to collect water. The spring is accessible year-round, though winter conditions in the Apuseni Mountains can make roads icy or snow-covered, so plan accordingly during colder months. The area around the spring can get busy, especially on weekends and holidays when many visitors travel to the Leșu Dam area for recreation.
