Since the river on the Serbian side of the Djerdap National Park is lined, the boat tour leads along untouched wilderness. On the Romanian side, mass tourism prevails. Approximately 50 boat rental companies offer their services opposite the Tabula Trajana. On the Serbian side, there are only 2. Everyone can decide for themselves, what he prefers.

The highlight of the tour is the famous Tabula Traiana. In the gray rock, a bright, three by two meters large marble panel is visible, which hardly stands out in color. So that's the famous Trajan's board. With an eagle and dolphins she pays homage to the Roman Emperor Trajan, who had a road laid here as early as the first century - so spectacularly on wooden beams along the rock face that the construction on the Trajan's Column in Rome was immortalized. When the valley had to be flooded in 1972 as part of the construction work for the Djerdap hydropower plant, the inscription along with rocks was moved a little higher. In any case, their new place is still impressive. Only by boat can you approach the monument. In the 70s, the Serbian cities Donji Milanovac and Tekija were also flooded and rebuilt above the waterline.

The Romanians compared the antique Roman work of art in 1994 with a 55 meter high statue. On the banks of the river, they had the likeness of the Dakerkönigs Decebalus carved into a rock face - even if this had lost in the Dacian war in AD 106 against Trajan.
