Sirinia Valley

Babacaia Rock

The route passes by the Babacaia rock, also called the "Lonely Crag of the Danube", being one of the most beautiful tourist sights of the Gorge, as well as the point where the Danube Gorge begins.

The rock has a height of 7 m above the water, and its name is based on the legend of a Serbian voivode who allegedly tied his unfaithful wife to the rock, telling her "babo kaise" (repent wife).

Ladislau Fortress

On the left bank of the Danube, on the Cula Hill, right next to the Golubac Grad fortress on the Serbian side, are the ruins of the Ladislau Fortress.

It was built in 1428, during the time of the Hungarian king, Sigismund of Luxemburg, and between 1429-1435 it was the property of the Order of German Knights. Later, in 1457, it became the property of the Hunedorens, and after the Mohacs attack, it became the property of the Turks.

Thus, the Cula Hill in Coronini has been witness to the history of these lands for hundreds of years.
