Defileul Jiului National Park

Defileul Jiului National Park is a protected natural area in southern Romania, established in 2005 through Government Decision Number 1581. The park occupies a dramatic river gorge carved by the Jiu River as it winds between the Vâlcan Mountains and the Parâng Mountains, both subrange formations within the broader Southern Carpathians. The national park spans approximately 11,127 hectares across the northern part of Gorj County, with a small portion extending into Hunedoara County. This protected landscape represents a significant ecological corridor within Romania's mountain park network, sheltering diverse flora and fauna within its steep-sided valley and adjacent forested slopes. The park's setting along the historic Jiu Valley places it in a region of both natural and industrial heritage, with the former mining city of Petroșani serving as the nearest urban center.
