                 The Danube&nbsp;is the second-longest river in Europe, after the Volga in Russia. It flows through much of Central and Southeastern Europe, from the Black Forest into the Black Sea.

Imagine a lake with water so clear, you can see the fish swimming. It is called Ochiul Beiului ( the Bey's Eye). It is one of Romania’s most beautiful lakes, surrounded by a green forest, in a wild area of Caras-Severin county, in South - Western Romania. The lake is located in the Cheile Nerei -Beusnita Natural Park, and is one of the main tourist attractions&nbsp;of the area. The most interesting thing about the 3.6-meter deep lake is that its water doesn’t freeze even at extremely low temperatures during winter, because of the spring that permanently feeds the lake with water.

Trajan's Bridge was a bridge built by Apollodorus of Damascus, the architect of the Column, between the spring of 103 and the spring of 105 on Lower Danube, east of the Iron Gates, in the town of Drobeta-Turnu Severin. The purpose of the construction was to facilitate the transport of Roman troops led by Trajan and the supplies needed for the second military campaign of the conquest of Dacia by King Decebalus. The bridge was 1135 meters long, about 18 meters high and 12m wide, which allows the passage of a marching legion.

The story of my painting &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I sketched this drawing in order to inform some people about some of Constantin Brâncuși's creations. The ones in the drawing below are my favourite sculptures and that’s why I drew them. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The moment I started drawing, I felt something. I felt the pleasure of drawing and that’s why you should start doing the things that make you happy. Drawing is my favourite pastime and I want to become better, to be someone important in the future. I hope you will find that thing that makes you happy. Thank you! &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;By Alesia-Gabriela Apafaian &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

The Semenic area and its Văliug commune, in Romania’s Banat region, are well-known to jazz fans, who flock there each summer for Garâna festival. But the area is also a winter destination, after the local authorities worked to set up a slope linking the Semenic Mountain to Văliug. The Semenic domain stands at an altitude of 1,400 meters, and snow can cover the area for up to even six months a year. There are currently four slopes with natural snow, named Urias, Goznuta, Crucea de Brazi, and Semenic – Văliug, the longest slope in the country at almost 6 kilometers.

The south part of Banat also includes Băile Herculane resort, set in the lovely Cerna Valley. It is one of the oldest spa resorts in the world - already used by the Romans, 2000 years ago and also beloved by the famous Sissi, who visited it no less than five times.

The rock sculpture of Decebalus is a colossal carving of the face of Decebalus, the last king of Dacia, who fought against the Roman emperors Domitian and Trajan to preserve the independence of his country, which corresponds to present-day Romania. The sculpture is located near the city of Orșova, in Mehedinți County. It was made between 1994 and 2004, on a rocky outcrop on the river Danube, at the Iron Gates, which form the border between Romania and Serbia. The Dacian king's sculpture is the tallest rock relief in Europe, at 55 m (180 ft) in height and 25 m (82 ft) in width.

Vânturătoarea Waterfall is a 40-60 meter single drop waterfall in the Cerna Valley,&nbsp;between the Mehedinţi Mountains to the east and the Cerna Mountains to the west, in the region&nbsp;Caraș-Severin, Romania. Vânturătoarea is a low volume waterfall that drops of a cliff near camping Valea Cernei. From the bridge over the river Cerna it is a 45 minute walk up to the lower part of the falls. From there a trail leads further up to a path that goes behind&nbsp;Cascada Vânturătoarea. This is another 30-45 minute walk.

Located within the Fârdea village, the dam that led to the formation of Surduc Lake began to be built in 1972. Surduc Lake is a place where lovers of fishing and other leisure activities can enjoy themselves freely. With an area of 460 hectares, Surduc Lake is the largest lake in Timis County.&nbsp;

              The small Bigar Waterfall was rapidly shifted from its off the beaten track isolation in 2013 . Back then, The World Geography placed it in the first position of its 8 Unique Waterfalls around the World guide. Almost overnight, it became the most famous site from Cheile Nerei--Beusnita National Park Caras-Severin, one of the most beautiful areas in Romania.

Văliug Lake (also called Gozna Lake) is a well-known tourist destination in the Banat Montains and the name comes from the highest peak of the Semenic Mountains - Piatra Goznei. It is an artificial dam lake, built between 1950 and 1953, with the purpose of supplying water to the municipality of Reșița. Besides the economic importance of Lake Gozna, it is also arranged for leisure. It is known as one of the hubs of fun, because the many pontoon sites offer music and refreshments for parties.
