About

Lacul Auster (Romanian for the austere lake) is a natural salt lake in the town of Ocna Sibiului, Sibiu County, Transylvania, Romania. It is one of the many lakes of the Ocna Sibiului mine, a large salt mine which has one of the largest salt reserves in Romania.

In the middle of the lake, an islet has been formed. The islet makes the lake unique among the other lakes of the mine.
