About this experience
Surely one of the most beautiful National Parks in Europe, and the longest gorge in Romania, Nera Gorge-Beușnița National Park is a perfect place to spend one day if you are in Timisoara and what to escape the city and enjoy spending time in nature. It's only 2 hours away from Timisoara and definitely worth the trip if you want to get to explore wilder parts of Romania.

Itinerary and highlights
Our first stop will be to see "The Tunnels" right as we enter the National Park. Here we'll get to see 7 tunnels carved manually in the limestone cliffs that form the gorge.
After a 30 minute walk, we'll get to see our first waterfall - La Vaioaga. We'll go down a few steps so we'll get closer to it and feel its power as a big quantity of water pours down into the Nera River.
Ochiul Bei - our third stop and the highlight of our trip with its turquoise color that will amaze you. Here we'll get to talk about the legend of the lake and why it actually never freezes.
Beușnița Waterfall is our last stop after we walk for another 20 minutes. Here we might find only a bit of water ( during July, August, September ) or a lot if we are in spring, autumn or late winter.
