DJERDAP GORGE

Favorite thing: Djerdap gorge offers one hundred kilometres of magnificent nature and history. The Danube is made narrower by this gorge and it goes through it towards Vlach Depression and the Black Sea. It is the oldest geological valley in this part of Europe, the largest composite valley and the biggest “breach” river on the Continent. Here the Danube is the narrowest and the deepest, and by Golubac before the entrance, the widest. Its name keeps the memory of Turkish conquerors. “Gerdap”, in Turkish, means the place dangerous for navigation, a whirlpool. Romans and Slavs called it the Iron Gate. Each epoch from prehistory to nowadays left significant traces of the culture and the past. From the first European civilizations, Roman castrums , through medieval and Turkish fortresses, Djerdap gorge was bridged by two marvellous engeneering projects: Trajan'bridge from the first century A.D. and hydroelectric power stations “Djerdap 1 and 2” which were put into operation in the seventies of the 20th century.
