Djerdap Geopark is situated in the SE Europe, in the north-eastern Serbia, at approximately 22° E and 44°50 N. The Danube River is natural and administrative border with the Republic of Romania as well as the main water corridor (the Pan- European waterway Corridor VII) linking the Black Sea and the Upper Danube catchment. In this area, the Danube has incised the longest gorge in Europe, which extends over a length of 100 km, and connects the Pannonian Basin in the West and the Dacian Basin in the East. Distance from the Serbian capital Belgrade is 200 km. The Geopark covers an area of 1330 square kilometres that belongs orographically to the Southern Carpathians. The climate is relatively mild; the annual average air temperatures are between 10 and 11°C, and the annual average precipitation sum is 784 mm. The elevation rises from 40 m a.s.l. (the Danube level) up to 810 m a.s.l. (Šomrda Mt.). This is predominately mountainous landscape with deeply incised valleys. River gorges, caves and natural bridges are the distinctive relief forms, shaped by active fluvial, slope and karst processes. The area is well known for its valuable cultural and natural heritage, geological in particular. It comprises four municipalities (Golubac, Majdanpek, Kladovo and Negotin) that belong to the administrative districts of Bor and Braničevo. About 41.000 residents inhabit this area. Family income is derived mainly from agriculture, animal husbandry and tourism.
