Discover Banat in 2 Days – Rivers Legends and Living Traditions

About this experience

Experience the authentic beauty of western Romania on a captivating journey through the historic region of Banat. This two day tour blends traditional rural heritage, spectacular landscapes, and the legacy of ancient spa culture.

The tour begins with a scenic ride on the historic Oravița–Anina Railway, one of the oldest mountain railways in Romania, offering impressive views as the train crosses tunnels, viaducts, and forested hills.

The journey continues to Eftimie Murgu, where visitors can explore the traditional watermills along the scenic Rudăria Valley, a remarkable example of rural heritage.
Next is the historic spa town of Băile Herculane, famous since Roman times for its thermal waters and elegant architecture.
The highlight of our trips is the Danube Gorge where we will be having dinner, spending the night and exploring it the next day before heading back to Timisoara.
