The Bega river has long been fixed into a canal, with the old towpath, mostly on the northern bank, now a perfectly paved bike trail, best connection West from Timisoara. Unfortunately it ends abruptly at the Serbian border without a crossing or even any trail on the other side. Classic contrast between well-funded tourism infrastructure in an EU country ending right at one of the few borders in Europe. So exit at Otrlec and take the road to the Foeni crossing.
