Đerdap Danube Gorge Road
34Golubac to Kladovo
Europe’s longest river gorge runs 100 km along the Serbian Danube from the medieval Golubac Fortress to the Iron Gate dam, the road hugging the river through forested mountains, cliffs towering 300 m where the river narrows to 150 m.
The drive begins at Golubac Fortress rising from the Danube and enters Đerdap National Park, dipping through tunnels and tracing cliff shelves as the gorge narrows in stages; at Mali and Veliki Kazan depths reach 90 m and the Romanian cliffs feel close, past the 7,000-year-old Lepenski Vir to the Iron Gate dam, the Decebalus rock sculpture visible across the river.
