I've never stopped at a track that often to take pictures.

While on the Romanian side the mass tourism prevails and high traffic, it is quiet on the Serbian side, contemplative often shady, little traffic and you drive through a beautiful nature and only occasionally appear between Donji Milanovac and Tekija a few houses.

AS A CYCLIST THE SERBIAN PAGE IS THE ABSOLUT BETTER ALTERNATIVE !!!

The so-called Danube Gorge at the Iron Gate is a gorge between the Serbian fortress Golubac and the town of Kladovo, where the Danube sought an adventurous path through the foothills of the Carpathians and today forms the border between Serbia and Romania. Over more than 100 kilometers, the Danube flows through densely wooded mountains. Sometimes it lies almost casually, expands to the width of a lake and gives the view of deep green forests. Then again she squeezes through narrow ravines with up to 300 meters high rock walls. At its narrowest point near the town Tekija, it is just 150 meters wide, but eerie 90 meters deep. Here is located on the Romanian side, the monastery Mraconia.

Among sailors this passage was once regarded as perilous, because the Danube in the Iron Gate often rolled wildly in her bed. At the end of the 19th century, the river began to be tamed. First, through the regulation of rapids and over the past 50 years by hydroelectric power plants and their associated barrages.

Yes, the Esschneider is definitely right, the route is really a feast for the eyes. Even if the road is not busy, the cars are quite fast, so be careful when cycling. Fortunately, there are plenty of small (and safe) resting places, each with their own great view of the Danube.
