Veterani Cave
Peștera Veterani
A historic cave beside the Little Cazane Gorge. In 1692, Austrian general Veterani fortified it to resist Ottoman forces, and it can be entered directly from the river.
Veterani Cave is near Ponicova Cave and has been used by humans since prehistoric times. In 1692, the troops of Austrian general Veterani fortified the cave to guard the Danube shipping route, which is how it got its name. Remnants of stone walls can still be seen at the entrance. Visitors usually land during a Cazane Gorge boat trip. The cave is fairly spacious. Access depends on the season and water level, so you must go with a boatman or guide.
