Danube Valley

Reviewed By RinH226 - Hadera, Israel

At first we thought about getting a boat like everyone else but because of my sea sickness we chose not to so we went to the tourist information nearby and there we got told that we can do it buy a car so we preferred this option, we went to the decabel statue it was nice attraction with great view and then the guy at the tourist information suggested us to do a trek which you need to write Birt doubova in google maps it’s a two hours trek with amazing views stops, the rail is the yellow triangle a medium hard climb of 15 minutes but then a chill walking

Manastirea Sf Ana / St Anne Monastery

Reviewed By nikkinortht - Ploiesti, Romania

We walked up to the Monastery from Orsova (a nice 45 minute hike up the road from the center). The Monastery is well cared for and had amazing flowers everywhere. It is worth a visit. We didn't stay long but wandered around a little enjoying the views and the flowers.

Fantana arteziana / artesian well

It’s such a nice place to walk around, quiet and lovely and the fountain is great to watch, there are many places to eat in the area but none speaks English you need to get farther from the park for it

If you arrive in Dubova you need to take a boat trip which will take you to this cave. Is a very nice guided tour filled with history. The cave has a natural structure and you can see also bats, that are very friendly.
