A nice and relaxing road. The traffic between Drobeta Turnu Severin and Orsova (20km) might be crowded. The portion between Orsova and Pojejena is with low traffic. It is a nice road to ride in all 3 seasons and in both directions. Make sure you plan your route so that you have the sun behind; the scenery will be more spectacular this way.
If you are hungry you can find a few nice places to eat along the way. It's better to drive here from Resita than from Moravita. At noon, I recommend you stop in Oravita at "Restaurant Carul cu Flori" (there is a LukOil gas station about 100m away). Then you can have a coffee break in Berzeasca at "Complex Egreta" right above the Danube and finally in the evening you can fill your belly at "Restaurant Taverna Sârbului" in Drobeta Turnul Severin. Here you can choose a simple hotel like Hotel Continental or you can enjoy the the rest of the evening in the outdoor pool of the hotel Riviera by Queens. Usually in the autumn I choose a hotel with some hot sulphurous baths in Herculane, but that's another story.
When I want to ride relaxed, I take as many stops as I like and a lot of pictures; sometimes I can spent 3,5 hours on this 120km route. When I prefer some action, 2 hours it's fine.
