At the origin of these lakes stood salt. Due to dissolving processes dolines and karst poljes (fields) came to existence, creeks disappeared below the ground, intermittent lakes saw daylight. Man also contributed to the origin of some of them.
Next to the Bear-Lake, lakes Negru (Black), Aluniş (Nut), Roşu (Red), Verde (Green) and Mierlei (Thrush) should be mentioned as well, having a mud layer in the bottom which, used as mask, has curative effects. A true curiosity here, in the homeland of salt is the fresh water of lakes Paraschiva and Dulce (Sweet)
