Djerdap is a national park in Serbia.
The place is unique for the traveler, because at one point you can see not only amazing nature, but also see a few more sights.
The border between Romania and Serbia runs along the Danube. But the main thing is not even this, it is more interesting that the Balkans and the Carpathians meet in this place. If the Romanian coast is the Carpathians, then the Serbian coast is the Balkans.
But that's not all. Here, these mountain systems come so close to each other that the place itself was called the “Iron Gate” by the Romanians. The Danube, which has its maximum width (up to 6 km) very close, suddenly crashes into the deepest and at the same time most beautiful Dzherdap gorge. At the same time, the width of the river reaches only 200-250 meters, and the rocks rise up to 400-600 meters. That is why near this point you can see the ruins of the Serbian Golubac fortress.
But this is not all the sights that you can see while traveling around Djerdap.
On the Romanian bank of the Danube, that is, in the Carpathians, you can see a giant monument to the king of Dacia Decebalus. Not wanting to surrender to the Roman emperor Trajan in 105, Decebalus pierced himself with a sword. This is the largest monument in Europe, carved into a monolithic rock. It reaches a height of 40 meters and a width of 25 meters.
Without a doubt, and not only I think so, the Dzherdap gorge belongs to the most beautiful places in Europe.
