The Cerna ( Hungarian Cserna ) is a left tributary of the Danube in Romania , which rises in the Gorj district .

Its source is on the southeast side of the Munții Godeanu , then it moves in a southwestern direction and flows into the Danube at Orșova . The upper part of the river is also called Cernișoara . Over a length of 84 km it crosses a valley with numerous, partly very deep gorges . Before it crosses the baths of Băile Herculane , it flows through the Țierna reservoir . During the Habsburg Monarchy , the Cerna formed the eastern border of the state.

The Cerna Valley is unique because - completely enclosed by mountain regions - it separates two different mountain ranges. It is a typical longitudinal valley that follows the tectonic line between the Vâlcan and the Mehedinţi mountains, bordered on one side by the Godeanu massif and on the other by the Cerna mountains . The numerous endo- karst forms of the Domogled-Valea Cernei National Park represent an exceptional scientific value both nationally and internationally .
