Ciucaru Mare
A limestone peak above the Great Cazane Gorge on the Romanian side. It takes about an hour to hike to the top, which offers views over the gorge and the Danube.
Ciucaru Mare rises about 318 meters and is near Dubova in Romania, right next to the Great Cazane Gorge. The trailhead is beside the DN57 road, and the marked trail takes about 1 to 1.5 hours one way. Along the way there are steep slopes and loose gravel. From the top you can look down on the Great Cazane Gorge and across to Veliki Štrbac on the Serbian side. There is no shade at the summit in summer, so bring plenty of water and watch out for venomous snakes in the protected area.
