Parcul Național Domogled - Valea Cernei

Domogled - Cerna Valley National Park is the oldest national park in Romania and stretches over wild mountains in the area of Baile Herculane, in Caras-Severin county, at the border of the Banat with Oltenia. The reserve protects an exceptional biodiversity, with forests of Banat black pine, spectacular gorges carved by the Cerna river and numerous rare species of plants and butterflies, adapted to the warm climate and Mediterranean influences. The landscape includes rocky peaks, thermal springs, caves and deep valleys, offering hiking trails for every level.

From here paths lead to renowned places in the massif, and the closeness of the Baile Herculane resort, with its thermal springs used since Roman times, adds to the appeal of the area. The park is an ideal destination for lovers of nature, hiking and photography, in a wild and little-known corner of the Carpathian Mountains.
