More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of the air-conditioned van and the gorge greets you with a throat of limestone and the steady voice of the Nera River daring you downstream. A narrow ribbon of trail threads between sheer cliffs; the air smells like cold water and wet stone. The itinerary moves deliberately — seven hand-carved tunnels, the thunder of La Vaioaga, the unreal turquoise of Ochiul Bei, and the layered descent to Beușnița’s falls.
