About

The oldest hydrotechnical facilities and the first gravity dams in Romania built for washing ores on the Oravița stream, known as Lacul Mare and Lacul Mic. Among the anthropogenic lakes of the Banatul Montan, the two lakes from Oraviţa stand out. They were arranged and consolidated through special hydrotechnical works, on the middle course of the Oraviţa Valley, in the interval 1727-1733, being provided with dams to mitigate the flood wave but also to serve the newly created industries or for the leisure of the inhabitants.

Cârșa Watterfall

If you arrive at Cheile Minișului, make a stop at the Cârșa waterfall, located just 14 km from Anina, over the Miniș river, on the left side. The waterfall is fed by rainfall, which is why it can sometimes dry up temporarily during the summer. However, it has an impressive waterfall of about 30 meters, which spills over the limestone rocks that hide one of the many caves that can be found on the Minișului Gorge. Here, you can enjoy the beauty of the waterfall and the fresh forest air that surrounds it. Road access is on the road that connects the Anina - Bozovici localities.
