    The Iron Gate 1 dam was put into operation in 1972. Here, the Danube is dammed over its entire width of just over 1 km. The border between Serbia and Romania (EU external border) runs through the middle, and a road with a border crossing runs along the crest of the dam. Due to increased security measures, photography is prohibited!

    The Iron Gate (the Danube's breakthrough valley through the southern Carpathians) was the most dangerous section for Danube shipping until 1972 (construction of the "Iron Gate 1" power plant).

    Leaving RU and entering SRB by bike over this bridge is no problem, even if Komoot refuses to create a direct route here.
