This is the Mill Race (Canalul Morii-Romanian), an artificial channel, that crosses the town. It is divided from the main river (Somesul Mic), right before the dam.
This channel was the fuel for 12 watermills beginning from the 14 century, and people say, the water was so clear in the 60th that you could drink of it. Now, that all has changed and it is a great subject of contradictory discussions; some people want to cover it and others want it to be cleaned and kept as a tourist attraction.
The mills don't exist any more, I couldn't find at least one picture of them.
Visit Weekend reflections at Newtown Area for beautiful reflection photos.

My vote is to let it stay! You captured some wonderfully beautiful reflections.
Very beautiful and serene. I hope they decide to clean it up and leave it even more beautiful - for everyone to enjoy!
Very romantic scenery, beautiful post!

I hope it's preserved because it's such a beautiful place. I really enjoyed seeing these pictures. Have a great weekend!
That must indeed have been a lovely spring walk!
Nice pictures, and I especially like the first one. The entire scene is inviting.
I love the water. What a pretty series of pictures!
I'd like to take a walk there - so pretty!
O how pretty! This looks like a great place to unwind and dream awhile!
