Details About Iron Gate

Destinations » River Cruises » European Rivers » Iron Gate


The Western Carpathians are the lowest of the three ranges and are fragmented by many deep structural depressions. They have historically functioned as "gates," which allow easy passage but can be readily defended. The most famous of these is the Iron Gate on the Danube.
