Welcome to a slice of paradise on the Danube shore, which combines the magnificent beauty of untouched nature, rich flora and fauna, and historical heritage. Djerdap National Park is situated along the border between Serbia and Romania, covering an area of 636 km2, making it the largest national park in Serbia. It is significant in European terms due to its natural and cultural heritage.
On the right bank of the Danube, this natural treasure stretches for 100 km, from the Golubac Fortress to the ancient fortification of Diana (Kladovo).
Djerdap National Park is named after the most beautiful and striking gorge along the entire course of the Danube. The Đerdap Gorge is the largest gorge breakthrough in Europe. It consists of four gorges and three basins arranged in the following order: the Golubac Gorge, the Ljupkov Basin, the Gospođin Vir Gorge, the Donji Milanovac Basin, the Veliki and Mali Kazan Gorges, the Oršava Basin, and the Sip Gorge. The most beautiful gorges are Mali and Veliki Kazan, where the Danube is the narrowest and deepest. Here, the Danube narrows to just 140 meters and reaches a depth of 90 meters, so the bottom is about 30 meters below the level of the Black Sea.
With rocky cliffs reaching heights of up to 500 meters, the canyon takes your breath away with its wilderness and beauty along the Danube shore. Take a walk along the shore or enjoy a boat ride to feel the power of Djerdap.
