Probably the best view of the Danube bottleneck: quite high, exactly as an extension of the "iron gate", which offers a great view. In addition, it is a fairly well-developed rest area with a few benches and enough space to park several vehicles. There is also an interesting table explaining the geology of the mountains on the Serbian side.

The Iron Gate (Romanian Porțile de Fier; Serbian Ђердап, Đerdap) is a gorge of the Danube. It is located in the southern Carpathians, more precisely between the Serbian Carpathians and the Banat Mountains, on the border of Serbia and Romania. Until it was defused in 1972 in connection with the Iron Gate 1 power plant, it was considered the most dangerous section of the Danube for shipping, which could not be passed without local pilots. For decades, the ships were towed upstream with locomotives.
