Rock Art in Romania

The cave is located about 80m above the Danube. It can be accessed by following a poorly maintained trail on steep terrain. There are two caves Chindiei 1 and Chindiei 2. Chindiei 1 can be seen from the road and is located right above Chindiei 2. The entrance to the cave used to be fortified and the remains of a locked door can be seen. The cave is a historical monument and is protected. It offers a splendid view of the Danube. The paintings, all of them in red color, can be found on the right hand side of the cave. While the cave is not deep it requires a flashlight for viewing the paintings. There is a lot of debate on the age of the drawings.

A total of 425 individual elements have been identified ranging from the VIII millennium B.C. to the medieval age. The oldest drawings depict human hands, birds and human characters while the newest represent crosses, pentagrams and Cyrillic writings. Some solar symbols are correlated with Dacian and proto-Dacian settlements.

To locate look drive 4km past Coronini eastwards towards the city of Orsova. On the left you will see a huge panel with Hungarian writings. Right after it (about 100m) look up and search for a huge cave. That is Chindiei 1 cave. Right under it, on the national road, look for a blue square on a power line pillar. The trail starts there and heads straight up to the cave.
