Nera Gorges (Cheile Nerei)
A dramatic limestone gorge carved by the Nera river, part of one of Romania's larger protected karst landscapes.
Overview
The Nera river cuts through a long, steep-sided limestone gorge in Caraș-Severin, part of the Cheile Nerei-Beușnița National Park, one of the largest protected areas of its kind in Romania. Forested slopes rise sharply above the clear river water.
The gorges are a habitat for a range of protected plant and animal species and offer some of the most scenic driving and walking routes in the Banat mountains.
Why Visit
Genuinely dramatic river-gorge scenery, and a natural pairing with Beușnița and Bigăr for a full day in the Banat mountains.
