The Nerei Gorge are the most beautiful gorges from Banatului Mountains which are located in the Eastern Carpathians (or Romanian Carpathians), in the west part of Romania being part of Southern Romanian Carpathians; they are often associated with a subgroup of Western Romanian Carpathians. The region I refer is Aninei Mountains, which are located between the DN57 (Moldova Noua) national road and DN57B (Anina, Oravita), at about 30km of Moldova Noua and 25km of Oravita, in the Caras-Severin county.

Cheile Nerei - Way of Access Map
This 1-day route starts from Sasca Romana, passes a wooden bridge and follows for 1 hour the track named "La Tunele" ("@Tunnels"); then arrives at "Podul Beiului" (bridge) and turns to the right following the Nera river.
Between the objectives:
- the tunnels from "La Tunele"; I counted a number of 7 tunnels, from which the longest one has about 50m;
- Podul Beiului - the start point to Ochiul Beiului (lake), Cascadele Beusnita (waterfalls) and Cheile Nerei (gorges);
- Cantonul Damian with camping place;
- Izvorul Damian (springs);
- La Carlige;
- Grota Boilor (cave);
- Izbucul Iordanului (springs);
- Ogasul Porcului;
- La Scaune;
- Ochiul Dracului (lake);
- Poiana Logor;
- Cheile Susarei (gorges);
All the objectives are part of "Cheile Nerei-Beusnita" National Park.

Marker after La Carlige
It says the river should be passed... which we haven't understood...
So we had to follow this unmarked wild track,
until we realized the message of the marker above
... but we haven't any regrets because we found this.
As the track became impossible,
we had to return to the marker and pass Nera
