You should also listen to the beautiful song “The Semenic Waltz” at the local radio station “Radio România Resita”, whose radio wave can be “received” from any place in Mountainous Banat on the frequency of 105.6 MHz.

Mount Semenic is metaphorically named “The Water Castle” of Banat, because “springs and rivers of crystalline water spring from all its sides and flow radially down the valleys like the spits of a wheel.” [Bizera M., 1971].

The most important rivers (Nera, Timis and Bârzava) spring from here. Also from Mount Semenic spring the tributaries to the right of the Belareca River, which flows into Cerna near the baroque-style railway station of the Herculane Baths resort.

Only Caraş springs from the Anina Mountains.

Mount Semenic “mirrors the high forehead of its crests in the glare of the water beds trenching these legendary realms.” [Fabian F.V, 2007].

The beauty of wild-looking landscapes, storage lakes and clear waters of cold springs turn the Mount Semenic in a wonderful oasis for practicing tourism in any season of the year.

Those who want to admire Mount Semenic and the chain of lakes are assisted by the nature that “did not throw deep ravines in the way of the hikers and did not oppose with the adversity of the abysses for those who want to climb the heights. (…) Anyone can get anywhere”. [Bureau V, 1982].

That is why we will try to depict the Semenic resorts from the perspective of the tourist who will be looking at them with new eyes, although he knows that Semenic and Herculane Baths were “outsourced” by private people, strangers, who are not from this place and “feel nothing for Banat”, even with the price of not being better than before 1989.

So a touristic route is proposed, on which, the tourist arrives in the middle of wild nature within only a  few steps from the path; and a theme park is suggested where nature completely surrenders to the human. In Banat “man has chosen his places, and the places bound the man.”  [Birou V., 1982].
