How beautiful Romania is! So many wonderful places to be visited!  So many tourist attractions belong to the most beautiful nature reserves of the world. We should be proud of our country because it’s the only country in Europe which has all forms of relief.

            If you are a nature lover, you will definitely love our beautiful Romania! If you wish to see many spectacular places, Bigar Waterfall must be on top of your list.

Founded in 1982 as a nature reserve, Bigar waterfall is considered the most beautiful waterfall from the entire world, as the Americans say. Bigar Waterfall is a protected area in Caras Severin in the territory of Bozovici, situated in the south of the Anina Mountains. It covers an area of 176.60 hectares and it is included in the “Cheile Nerei”- Beusnita National Park.

In 2013 it was declared by “The World Geography” as being world’s most beautiful waterfall. “Sometimes you see photos with a natural landscape which seem unreal to you. So happens with Bigar Waterfalls which looks like taken from fairytales … It’s a magical place” writes the American publication Huffington Post.

Water rises from 200 meters altitude and it flows down from a rock covered with moss. This waterfall was even compared to a scene from Disney’s movie “The Little Mermaid”. It is Banat’s pride and it’s truly the world’s most beautiful waterfall, a place that has become a wonderful attraction and it is worth visiting once in a lifetime.

 It is located near the main road so if you ever happen to be around you must visit it!
