The Kazan Pass. (with the modern and Roman Roads.) / Le pas de Kazan, (avec la route moderne et la route Romaine.)

Description

View of the the Kasan gorge, is a gorge on the river Danube and forms part of the boundary between Serbia (to the south) and Romania (north). In the broad sense it encompasses a route of 134 km (83 mi); in the narrow sense it only encompasses the last barrier on this route, just beyond the Romanian city of Orșova, Gate. At this point in the Danube, the river separates the southern Carpathian Mountains from the northwestern foothills of the Balkan Mountains. The Romanian side of the gorge constitutes the Iron Gates natural park, whereas the Serbian part constitutes the Đerdap national park.
