CURVESCOUT / MOTORCYCLE RIDE
The recorded total and the leg detail need reconciliation. Inspect the leg notes before using this record for timing or navigation. Stops, delays, approach and any separate return travel add time. Basis: producer-declared routed record.
Reading history stays on this device. My road watch requires a separate selection; opening it does not subscribe this ride.
Distance and riding time are measured on the routed road. Check local closures and conditions before you ride.
259 km from Anina to Anina, about 4 h 58 of riding. The stops in between: Teregova - La Hideg, Domogled - Valea Cernei - Iauna Craiovei and back through Teregova - La Hideg. The stored terrain estimate reaches about 1,200 m; a measured road-elevation profile is not available.
High in the Semenic mountains of south-western Romania, in the Banat region, the Nera river is born in a forest of ancient beech trees. The Izvoarele Nerei reserve, the springs of the Nera, protects one of the largest areas of virgin beech forest in Europe, with trees over thirty metres tall and centuries old, untouched by logging. It is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Ancient and Primeval Beech Forests of the Carpathians and Other Regions of Europe.

Izvoarele Nerei is where the day begins. Next is Teregova - La Hideg.
Teregova is a village in the narrow corridor between the Banat mountains and the Țarcu range in western Romania, where the Timiș river flows north toward the plain and a low pass leads south to the Cerna and the Danube. This corridor has been a route since ancient times: the Roman road from Dierna, on the Danube, to Tibiscum, near Caransebeș, ran through here, linking the river crossing with the heart of the province of Dacia. La Hideg is a local place name near the village, and the point is listed among the sites of the Roman frontier of Dacia, the UNESCO site recognised in 2024. As with many such sites, the remains may be hard to spot, but the logic of the location is clear.

Teregova - La Hideg comes up 29 km in. Next is Domogled - Valea Cernei - Iauna Craiovei.
The Cerna is a mountain river in south-western Romania, flowing through a long, deep valley between the Mehedinți and Cerna mountains before reaching the old spa town of Băile Herculane. The Domogled-Valea Cernei National Park protects this valley and the mountains around it, a landscape of limestone cliffs, gorges, caves and some of the largest old-growth beech forests in Europe, part of the UNESCO site for the ancient and primeval beech forests of the Carpathians and other regions of Europe.
