Where to stop

Orșova — fuel and a break before the gorge
Dubova — the 40 m face of Decebalus, carved in the rock
Great and Small Cauldrons — where the Danube is at its narrowest
Moldova Nouă — the end of the Danube stretch

Danube Gorge as a group

Fill up before the climb: petrol stations are rare in the mountains.
Up in the mountains it's much colder than in the valley: take an extra layer and spare gloves.
Agree on the regroup points before setting off, not on the road.
Keep your distance and ride staggered in the lane, not side by side.
Don't stop the group in bends or in a tunnel; stop only where there's room for all the motorcycles.

In {{nume}} you propose the ride with the meeting point and the pace, the others tap “I'm in”, and on the road you see each other on the map.

The facts above are indicative. Before setting off, check whether the road is open and what the weather is like up in the mountains.
