Cruise along a particularly scenic stretch of the river, as the Danube passes through the southern stretches of the dramatic Carpathian mountains and the foothills of the Balkans to the ‘Iron Gates’, a gorge formed by sheer cliffs. The passage was infamous in ancient times as the water level was much lower, making navigation treacherous. Now the water level has been raised and shipping hazards removed, but the journey is still exciting, and you’ll be able to watch the ship manoeuvre through two locks by the Djerdap power stations.
