This
morning finds you cruising through picturesque
scenery. Some very impressive sights are
coming up on the right bank of the mighty
Danube. The medieval fortresses of Smederevo
and Golubac, the Trajan Table, marking
the spot where the Roman Emperor crossed
the Danube to conquer Dacia (modern Romania).
The scenery becomes truly spectacular
as you cruise through the Iron Gates,
a narrow Danube gorge between the Carpathian
and Balkan Mountains. The gorge, one of
the most dramatic sights in Europe, forms
a natural border between Serbia and Romania.
As you continue your journey down the
Danube, enjoy vistas of Romania to the
north, and Bulgaria to the south. Cruise
overnight to Svistov. The Iron Gate (Romanian:
Portile de Fier, Serbian: Gvozdena vrata,
Hungarian: Vaskapu, Turkish: Demirkapi,
German: Eisernes Tor) is a gorge on the
Danube River.
