Iron Gates on Danube cruise port guide

About Iron Gates on Danube

The Iron Gates is a dramatic gorge on the Danube River forming the natural border between Serbia and Romania, encompassing the Iron Gates Natural Park. Kladovo on the Serbian bank and Drobeta-Turnu Severin on the Romanian bank are the primary nearby settlements, with Orșova offering an additional Romanian access point. The gorge is a signature passage on Danube river cruises operating between Belgrade and the Black Sea.

The Iron Gates Natural Park is the defining draw of this stretch of the Danube, encompassing the gorge's rugged canyon walls and biodiverse river environment. The Romanian riverside town of Orșova provides an additional point of access to the region.
