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.
From Pojejena it runs 423 km to Pojejena; allow about 8 h 14 of riding. The stops in between: Izvoarele Nerei, Berzovia - Berzobis and back through Izvoarele Nerei. It crosses from Serbia into Romania - carry ID and check vignette or toll rules. It suits an unhurried touring pace.
The Danube here is wide and slow, and across the water you look straight into Serbia. Pojejena is a village on the Romanian bank in the Danube gorge region known as the Clisura Dunării, and nearby Şitarniţa is the site of a Roman fort, one of the stations that guarded the river frontier. It is part of the Frontiers of the Roman Empire listing in Romania, inscribed in 2024. The Danube was the backbone of Rome's northern defences for centuries, and forts like this one lined its banks.

Pojejena - Șitarnița is where the day begins. Next is Izvoarele Nerei.
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.

Only a handful of sentences survive from the Emperor Trajan's own account of his wars against the Dacians, and one of them mentions this place. Quoted by a later grammarian, it reads, in Latin, that from there we advanced to Berzobis, then to Aizi. Berzobis is the village now called Berzovia, in the Banat hills of south-western Romania, and the site of the Roman fort here, where the Fourth Legion Flavia Felix was stationed after the conquest, is part of the Frontiers of the Roman Empire listing in Romania inscribed in 2024.
