Getting here

By car

• From Timișoara or Lugoj: take the DN6 towards Deva, then at Traian Vuia turn right onto the DJ 681A towards Surducu Mic and Fârdea. This is the main access.
• From Făget: take the DJ 681 through Drăgsinești and Fârdea, a road rebuilt in 2018.
• To the remote shores: the last stretch is gravel or dirt and gets hard to drive after rain.
• Road closures: some events, such as the September rally, close the Surducu Mic–Fârdea road for a whole day. Check before you leave.
