Cheile Nerei-Beușnița National Park, National park in Caraș-Severin County, Romania.
Cheile Nerei-Beușnița National Park is a protected area featuring limestone cliffs and two rivers that wind through narrow gorges. The landscape includes forested slopes, exposed rock faces, and waterways that together form a diverse ecosystem.
The area received national park status in 2000, after being recognized for its important natural features and forests. This designation came because the region holds significant geological formations and woodland ecosystems worthy of protection.
The park's name comes from the two rivers, Nera and Beușnița, which flow through deep gorges and shape the entire landscape. Visitors notice everywhere how water has carved and transformed the rock over time.
The park has several marked trails of different lengths and difficulty levels that guide visitors through the gorges. It is helpful to wear sturdy footwear and be ready for steep paths and wet areas near the rivers.
The park is home to Devil's Lake and several waterfalls formed by mineral-rich springs that build travertine ledges. These limestone deposits develop through slow geological processes and create a rare feature that many visitors overlook.
