Western Romania

Western Romania here means the Banat, a region that lies partly in Romania and partly in Serbia. In Romania it takes in the counties of Timiș, Caraș-Severin and Arad south of the Mureș.

Its lakes include the Romanian shore of the Iron Gates Reservoir, Surduc, the drinking-water reservoir of Timișoara, and the reservoirs of the Semenic mountains and the Cerna valley. Two national parks, Semenic–Cheile Carașului and Domogled–Valea Cernei, lie here.
