"Portile de Fier" Natural Park

The Iron Gates Natural Park is located in the southwestern part of Romania, its southern limit being the Romanian bank of the Danube. On the east, it borders with Dr. Tr. Severin (Mehedinti), to the west with the locality of Socol (Cara?-Severin.) At the north, from the confluence of Nerei with Danube, Tālva Blidarului, Svinecea Mic? and Mare, it.

It covers an area of ??approximately 115,665.8 ha, being one of the largest natural parks in Romania (2nd place), consisting of 18 reservations. The main form of relief is the mountains, consisting of the southern extensions of the Banat Mountains (Locvei Mountains and Almaj Mountains), the Mehedin?i Mountains and part of the Mehedin?i Plateau.

Ruins of Trikule Fortress (16th century)

On the left bank of the Danube, 4 km downstream of Svini?a (Mehedin?i County), there are three towers one of which is not visible anymore, because at the beginning of last century, the glaciers on the Danube wore it, and what remaining was covered by river waters.

Today, all three buildings are bathed in the Danube and the southern tower is totally underwater. The three towers are located in the corners of a hypothetical triangle and, before the Danube level was raised due to the Gura-Vaii dam (1971), they were on the steep left bank. Tri Cule Fortress (Tri Kule or Triculi) was built in the 15th century to stop Ottoman expansion.
