Railway line Oravita - Anina in Banat 😍😍🇹🇩
The Oraviţa - Lisava - Anina railway line (in Caras-Severin district) was inaugurated on December 15, 1863 as the first cable car in Romania today.
The construction started in 1861 and was a difficult engineering work, because the railway is located in a mountain region (the western part of the Banat Mountains). The 33.4 km long railway line has no less than 14 tunnels with a total length of 2.1 km and nine viaducts (9).
The route starts at Oraviţa and then climbs the plateau of the Semenic Mountains on a route where there is no other road.

Near the town of Anina is the Bigar waterfall (images show the waterfall before June 07, 2021), which was created on the basis of the travertine (limestone tuff). And on the World Geography website of 2013 were listed the most impressive waterfalls in the world

A large travertine plate collapsed on June 7, 2021 (the travertine and muscle that accumulated over time increased in size and weight, and the waterfall collapsed under its own weight). The pictures were taken BEFORE June 7, 2021!!!

Since then, the image of the waterfall has changed, but it is worth another visit 🥰

In the heart of the Semenic Mountains there is a place full of wonderful landscapes, an oasis of peace and relaxation. It is about the Trei Ape Resort in the village of the same name in Caraș-Severin county, approximately 35 kilometers from the town of Reșita. The resort is located right next to Lake Trei Ape, the highest reservoir in the Semenic massif.

The name Trei Ape, given to both the resort and the lake that formed in the area, comes from the three streams that descend from the mountains. Grădişte and Semenic, which meet here to create the Timiș river.

The resort with three waters is loved by winter sports enthusiasts, and that's because there is also a skiing section. In addition, tourists who want to explore the surroundings can start on very well-marked trails to the Anina or Semenic mountains, but also to the nearby tourist villages such as Gărâna or Brebu Nou. Those who want to spend the night at Lake Trei Ape can do so in several cabins, country houses, guesthouses and a hotel located in the tourist resort of the same name.

To get to this area, drive from Reșita on an asphalted road for 37 kilometers through Secu, Văliug, Brebu Nou and Gărâna.
