The lake St. Ana -legend
The first legend mentions two rival brothers who wanted to stand out from each other at any cost. So one of them wanted to prove that he has the most beautiful carriage and harnessed to it the most beautiful virgins in the village. Because they were frail and failed to move the very heavy carriage, the man decided to whip them and subject them to terrible torment. So one of the virgins named Ana cursed him. Then a strong storm suddenly broke out and killed the man and demolished his castle. Instead of the castle, it is said that today's lake was formed and that is why it is also called Saint Anne.

The second legend -Lake St. Ana

The second legend also refers to a girl named Ana. She was forced by her family to marry a boy she did not want and did not love, even though she begged her parents not to marry her. But they did not want to listen to her because of the riches that the young man had. So it is said that the young woman ran away on the wedding night and threw herself into the lake. Because the locals were impressed by the suffering experienced by the girl, they decided to name the lake Sfânta Ana, a place of fertility and love.

The Muddy Volcanoes area, or Plaiurile Balaurilor, as it was also called by folklore enthusiasts, is one of the most visited destinations in Buzau. Although mud volcanoes have nothing in common with fire volcanoes, the flow of mud is very similar to that of the lava of volcanoes in Hawaii. The imagination of the people has woven over time countless stories about this disturbing landscape. The locals tried to find an explanation for the phenomenon of muddy volcanoes, associating these phenomena with the characteristics of the places where they were: "bad" areas, where nothing grew, where mud flows and fuel oil.
As fuel oil or tar were in the Bible, an ingredient of hell, the locals concluded that these places would be gates to hell, a hypothesis confirmed by the barren landscape surrounding the volcanoes.
