The Churches of Sasca
The Catholic church of 1755, at the top of the village. The Orthodox church of 1877, by the river.
The Catholic church was built in 1755, shortly after the mining colony was founded, and stands at the upper end of the village. The Orthodox church was rebuilt in 1877 and sits at the entrance to Sasca, beside the Nera.
The two, a few hundred metres apart, tell the village's story on their own: a German colony that became, over time, a Banat village.
Șușara Waterfall and Gorge
Three hours there and back along the water, no difficulty. The entrances to the old mine galleries are visible on the way.
The Nera Gorges
Twenty-two kilometres of gorge, caves, overhanging paths and cable crossings. The wildest in the country.
The Tunnels and Podul Bei
Tunnels cut by hand through the rock, along the Nera. Two hours of easy walking with the river alongside.
