Lake Đerdap, Artificial reservoir on Danube River between Serbia and Romania.
Description
Lake Đerdap is a large reservoir on the Danube between Serbia and Romania, created by damming the river. High cliffs line its banks, and the water flows through several gorge sections that make the landscape distinctive.
History
The lake came into existence in 1972 as a joint hydroelectric project between Yugoslavia and Romania. This cooperation reshaped the Danube region and provided infrastructure for both countries.
Culture
The region around the lake was home to human communities for thousands of years, and traces of these settlements remain visible today. You can visit museums and archaeological sites that show how people adapted to living along this important waterway.
Practical
Visitors can fish, boat, or view the cliffs from the water or shoreline. The warmer months offer the best conditions for water activities and exploring the gorges comfortably.
Did you know?
The lake flows through several well-known gorge sections, including Golubac and Kazan, which are part of Europe's longest gorge system. These natural formations create a striking setting for boat journeys along the water.
