Domogled-Valea Cernei National Park
Domogled-Valea Cernei National Park, National park in Caraș-Severin County, Romania.
Domogled-Valea Cernei National Park covers about 61,000 hectares across two mountain ranges with limestone formations, deep gorges, and broad valleys. The park also contains several natural hot springs scattered throughout its territory.
The area received national park status in 2000 after conservation work began in the 1990s. This protection aimed to safeguard the region's distinctive geology and water resources for the future.
The Cerna Valley is home to about 80 scattered households whose residents maintain traditional ways of life that shape the land today. These communities have lived in the valleys for generations and add a human dimension to the natural landscape.
The park has multiple entry points with marked trails that lead into different areas. Accommodation and supplies are available in nearby Băile Herculane, making it a convenient base for exploring the park's various sections.
Circular tablelands called Crovuri form throughout the park due to specific weathering processes in the limestone. These geological features shape the landscape at several spots and show how natural erosion works over time.
