Tekija

Driving downstream next to the river, we enter into the longest Gorge in Europe! Breaking trough the Carpathians, Danube makes the most dramatic place on the river. The name of the Gorge speaks for itself- Iron Gates. Danube was one of the most important traffic routes. Many conquerors, traders and nations have left numerous legends and monuments on the route and we can only see it from the river. Pleasant speedboat ride, we will enjoy breathtaking landscape, history and mystery of this place.
