Visiting
The Danube's Iron Gates gorge, with the Great and Small Cazane, where the river narrows between steep slopes. On the Romanian bank stands the Decebalus statue (40 m, completed 2005), mirroring the ancient Roman Tabula Traiana plaque on the Serbian side — the boat tour from Dubova is the most commonly used way to reach them.
