The statue of the Dacian king Decebalus is a 55-meter-tall statue and the tallest rock sculpture in Europe. It is located on a rock formation in the Almăj Mountains on the banks of the Danube near the village of Dubova, southwest of the city of Orșova (Romania), in the Iron Gates Nature Park.

Here lie smaller gorges separated by the Dubova Gulf. Their names date back to the Ottoman Empire, when the Danube waters were swift and full of whirlpools resembling a "pot." In Mali Kazan, the Danube is at its narrowest (150-180 m) and deepest. The steep flanks of Mt. Miro, formed from Jurassic limestone, rise above the Danube. The highest peaks, Veliki Strbac (768 m) and Mali Strbac (626 m), are already integrated into the hiking trail as viewpoints towards Mali Kazan and Veliki Kazan, respectively. The Hajducka Vodenica archaeological site and the submerged karst spring of the same name are located at the foot of the hill. Before the construction of the dam in the Djerdap area, traces of prehistoric necropolises and settlements from the Roman and medieval periods were discovered at this site.
