When leaving Caras Severin county and heading towards Dubova and the Iron Gates, you may find some time to turn your way and go to Eibenthal, a Czech village, situated in Banat Mountains.
The village was first mentioned in 1827 when Czech families coming from Bohemia were brought here in order to protect the frontier of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The inhabitans main activities used to be cutting wood and mining. Today it has a small number of villagers, most of them being Czechs.
What strikes you most is the cleaning of the streets and the houses. There are also many flowers and the land is cultivated almost entirely.
Even if it is isolated the road is in good conditions, although it is so narrow. But the view of the valley with the Danube at its bottom , deserves it!
In August there is a festival, organised by the Czechs.
