Bătrânul Danubius este un fluviu de legendă, care şi-a croit timp de milenii drumul prin inima Europei. Poate cel mai mare obstacol de trecut, Carpaţii, au dat naştere unuia dintre cele mai frumoase peisaje de pe parcursul său.
România şi Serbia au amândouă drumuri pe mal. Pe malul sârbesc drumul e mai înalt şi duce la cetatea Golubăţ. Pe malul Românesc, drumul duce la Golful Mraconia se află gigantul Decebal. Sculptura a fost realizată în 10 ani, între 1994 şi 2004. Finanţată de omul de afaceri Iosif Constantin Drăgan, lucrarea a fost executată de o echipă de sculptori-alpinişti condusă de Florin Cotarcea. Gigantic patriotism şi omagiu Dacilor. Între timp, dând dovadă de fler turistic, sârbii au creat pe malul opus o parcare cu băncuţe şi binocluri fixe.
În faţa creaţiilor oamenilor, efemere, Dunărea îşi arată supremaţia sculptând neîncetat Cazanele. De pe maluri o privesc stânci şi codrii seculari.
The Danube Gorges
Old Danubius is a legendary river, which for millennia frayed its path in the heart of Europe. Its encounter with the Carpathians, maybe the toughest obstacle to pass on its way to the sea, gave birth to one of the most beautiful reliefs.
Romania and Serbia have both built national roads on the banks. The road is higher up on the Serb bank and leads to Golubac fortress. On the Romanian side the road leads to Mraconia gulf, where a gigantic figure of Decebalus was carved in the mountain side. It took 10 years to finish the work, between 1994 and 2004, financed by businessman Iosif Constantin Drăgan. The team was led by Florin Cotarcea. It was a show of gigantic patriotism and an homage to the Dacians. In the meantime, showing touristic flair, the Serbs have built a parking on the opposite bank, with benches and fixed binoculars.
Before the ephemeral creations of man, the Danube shows its supremacy, relentlessly sculpting the Danube Gorges, under the watchful eye of centuries old forests.
