A Magnificent Canyon Along Europe’s Danube River
The Iron Gate, also known as the Đerdap Gorge, is situated between Romania and Serbia and is one of the most scenic stretches along the Danube river. The Iron Gate is a natural gorge formed by the Carpathian Mountains on the Romanian side and the Balkan Mountains on the Serbian side. It stretches for about 100 miles and offers stunning views of cliffs, caves, and and rock formations.
In addition to spectacular scenery archaeologists have uncovered artifacts, tools, and structures from prehistoric times in the Iron Gate area. These discoveries shed light on the daily life, customs, and technology of ancient Europeans. These Mesolithic settlements in the Iron Gates region is best represented at Vlasac on the Serbian bank of the Danube and Schela Cladovei in Romania. The evidence from these two sites show organized villages being established in the gorge from 7000 and 6300 BC.
