Légende

The Iron Gate of the Danube, 1871. 'The whole length of the [River] Danube, with all its windings, is 1725 miles, or nearly 1000 miles from west to east. It rises in the Black Forest of Baden. The upper part of its course, through South Germany, shows a great deal of picturesque scenery; but eastward, from Vienna down to the Black Sea, its banks are generally flat. There is a striking exception to this dull monotonous level, in the defile between precipitous rocks, called the Iron Gate, in Wallachia, four or five miles below Orsova, near the frontier of Hungary'. From "Illustrated London News", 1871.
