Robin Biznis 9 September 2019, Belgrade, Serbia
I have spent the last two weeks in this small town of my wife’s birthplace.
The internet connection is also difficult to reach, so I could neither visit this site nor be active.In this and a few more stories I will write about this beautiful small and quiet city. In fact, it is a small town.
This small town lies on the right bank of the mighty and large European Danube River.So first thing about the Danube itself.
The basic natural potential of Golubac is the Danube River.
The Danube is at its widest in Golubac , about 6.5 kilometers.

At this part, Danube is enormous water area, suitable for development of various activities on the water and on the coast.
Starting from the fortress ,there is magnificent Golubac gorge, 13,5km long, with step,rocky cliffs,up to 300 meters high above the river level.
I used to fish every day on this beautiful water late into the night. Here is a beautiful sunset shot below.

Djerdap lake is the biggest lake in Serbia.
The lake is over 100 km long and 8 km wide at its widest point. The maximum depth reaches 100 meters. The surface of the lake is 253 km², of which 163 km² is in the Serbian side and 90 km² in the Romanian side.It was created in 1972 when Yugoslavia and Romania built the Djerdap I hydroelectric power plant.

Thanks for sharing this, I heard about the Danube, but have never seen it. This is a lovely place.
Well the Danube is Europe’s largest river and this is just one small town on it. These are the capitals of the four countries through which the Danube flows: (Vienna, Bratislava, Budapest and Belgrade)
Pamela thank you for your comment.
Thanks I have known some people in New Zealand who have done river cruises I am not sure where they went but to me it is very expensive for the short time they are there and unaffordable for me.
This place must be wonderful. I admired the Danube in Hungary. This is a truly amazing river.
I have so many bridges in Budapest too, but this little town is for peace and enjoyment.
lovely pictures of the castle are amazing.
What kind of fish do you catch in the lake?
Thank you very much Doc.
Fished for fish by Carp.
carp that is a fish we chase on the smaller lakes here in Maryland.
Even with ours it is not the biggest fish but it is a big fighter and very tasty to eat.And a very crafty fish.
it is a fun fish to catch –
Love the Golubac fortress. I have always had an interest in the castle like structures in Europe
Thank you so much for your interest in Golubac Fortress.
The Danube is a poetic place that is mentioned in several songs.
