Where the Danube Carves the Mountains: Discover the Iron Gates on Two Wheels
The western edge of the Southern Carpathians is lesser known to foreign tourists despite offering plenty for everyone. Boasting a wide variety of sights, we consider it the hidden gem of our portfolio.
We'll ride a bike and a boat through the Iron Gates, the Danube's Big Boilers, then turn north and visit Băile Herculane, the favourite resort of Empress Elisabeth of Austria. In the second part of the week we'll turn onto more quiet roads and stop over by the mills of Eftimie Murgu, the world-famous Bigăr waterfall and capping it all off with a train ride on the Banat's Semmering, the Oravița-Anina railway.
This tour is also one of our hub and spoke tours, which means it's accessible to non-riding partners and friends as well!
