Bigăr Waterfall
Cascada Bigăr
A fan-shaped waterfall formed by karst spring water flowing over moss-covered rock walls. It was once named one of the world's most unusual waterfalls.
Bigăr Waterfall lies on the edge of Nera-Beușnița National Park in Caraș-Severin County, Romania, close to Road 57B and a sign marking the 45th parallel north. Karst spring water gushes out of a cave opening, then flows over limestone tufa walls covered in moss before falling into the Miniș River, spreading out like an umbrella. Part of the moss-covered rock face collapsed in 2021, so the waterfall no longer looks as it did in older photos, but it is still worth a visit. Park by the road and walk a few minutes to reach it. A small entrance fee may be charged. It is about 1.5 hours' drive from Orșova.
