Holiday Memories - Eleventh Day - towerds to The Statue of Decebalus

After a comfortable night in a nice motel we had to move on. The plan was to see The Statue of Decebalus and the magnificent Cascada Bigar waterfall. Our way was led by the wonderful Romanian region Valea Cernei National Park. All the pics below are taken from the car window. Believe It was not easy























 The Domogled - Valea Cernei National Park is a paradise for rock climbing, hiking, rafting, balneotherapy and many more

 The Domogled-Valea Cernei National Park is the country’s largest at 61.211hectares, and incorporates a geographically rare valley squashed between two mountain ranges as well as the basin of the Cerna River. The Cerna Valley runs roughly north to south, lying between the Mehedinti and Vâlcan hills to the west and the Cerna Mountains to the east; it forms a dramatic limestone gorge that has been carved out over the millennia and is fed by smaller canyons pockmarked with subterranean cave systems burrowed through the soft rock. What little human settlement exists is limited to isolated hamlets of farming communities, barely changed over time, and thanks to its remote location, the national park is home to rare plant and animal life

Mountains are the beginning and the end of all natural scenery.” (John Ruskin)
