The Lăzarea (also: Chiuruț or Chiuruțul Mare, Hungarian: Szárhegy-patak) is a right tributary of the river Mureș in Transylvania, Romania.[1][2] It flows through the village Lăzarea, and joins the Mureș near the village Remetea.[3] Its length is 16 km (9.9 mi) and its basin size is 31 km2 (12 sq mi).[2]
Its Hungarian name contains the archaic word "szár" for "bold", so the name means "Boldmountain Creek".
