Cheile Carașului, Nature reserve in Anina Mountains, Romania.
The Cheile Carașului stretches across 19 kilometers through limestone formations, featuring vertical walls that reach heights of 150 to 250 meters above the valley floor.
The reserve contains remnants of an ancient fortress called Gratul Carașului, positioned strategically at high elevation to monitor the surrounding mountain passages.
Local inhabitants from Carașova village maintain traditional practices of sustainable agriculture and sheep herding in designated areas near the reserve boundaries.
Visitors can access the reserve through a marked trail with blue triangles, starting from the metal footbridge near Carașova and following the Caraș River upstream.
The reserve houses numerous caves at different elevations, including Pestera Liliecilor, which contains substantial bat colonies and requires crawling through narrow passages.
