On 44.864185,21.813467 exists a cave in Romania, where there is a natural outside stream pool called Lacul Dracului (The lake of the devil/deamon). It is a famous spot for tourists in the region of Cheile Nerei. How can I tag it on the map ? Can't use anything from Tourism, nor Water, and no, it is not a proper swimming pool :/ Thanks.

It still should have the default lake/water tag, just maybe add tourism=attraction on the lake polygon?

Regarding what I found about Lacul Dracului this is a natural water in a collapsed cave. If you don't want to use
natural=water because it is a pool of a stream/river, you can use
waterway=riverbank to map that pool. Since it is inside a collapsed cave you could also add
embankment=yes and - if matching
natural=cliff (maybe only partly).

After all don't forget: mapping is about simplifying. :)
