This complex, built between 1960 and 1966, was initially designed for the production of electricity, irrigation and flood prevention. Today, it is recognized as a place with multiple opportunities for recreation, tourism, and sports activities.<\/p>\n<p>Vidraru Dam, in particular, is considered a masterpiece of engineering. Built in a relatively short time, between 1961 and 1966, this technological monument was achieved with significant human sacrifices, with approximately 80 people losing their lives in the construction process.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to learn more details about the history and the technology behind this engineering marvel, you can watch a short presentation that we provide about the Construction of Vidraru Dam and the village of Cump\u0103na, which played an essential role in this successfull story.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to all these impressive technical aspects, near Vidraru Dam, you can find the Statue of Prometheus, also known as the Monument of Electricity or the Iron Man. This impressive bronze statue, standing 10 meters tall, depicts the titan Prometheus holding a lightning bolt in his hand, symbolizing electricity. This monument is situated on a concrete platform on Plea\u0219a Mountain, adding a fascinating element to the marvelous landscape in this area.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7989decf\" data-id=\"7989decf\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1c688e16 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"1c688e16\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"2000\" src=\"https:\/\/poianamucenicului.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Lacul-Vidraru-\u2013-Barajul-Vidraru.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-2526\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/poianamucenicului.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Lacul-Vidraru-\u2013-Barajul-Vidraru.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/poianamucenicului.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Lacul-Vidraru-\u2013-Barajul-Vidraru-180x300.jpg 180w, https:\/\/poianamucenicului.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Lacul-Vidraru-\u2013-Barajul-Vidraru-614x1024.jpg 614w, https:\/\/poianamucenicului.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Lacul-Vidraru-\u2013-Barajul-Vidraru-768x1280.jpg 768w, https:\/\/poianamucenicului.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Lacul-Vidraru-\u2013-Barajul-Vidraru-922x1536.jpg 922w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vidraru Lake and Dam Along the famous Transf\u0103g\u0103r\u0103\u0219an, approximately 40 kilometers from Curtea de Arge\u0219, in a spectacular setting between Plea\u0219a and Vidraru slopes, you&#8217;ll find Vidraru Lake and Dam.
