Protected areas

Cheile Nerei – Beușnița National Park was established to protect the natural karst environment and the cultural and historical heritage of the region. The park surface (36758 ha) is larger than that of the ecotourism destination, which in turn focuses on the significant tourist attraction sites located in the south of the protected area. The southern boundary of the park (in the Locvei Mountains) is also the northern boundary of the Iron Gates Nature Park (Parcul Natural Porțile de Fier).
