Summary:
The Țăsna stream, a left tributary of the Cerna River, is located in the Mehedinți Mountains. It has carved a canyon with 7 waterfalls, divided into two sectors. The first sector features a narrow riverbed flanked by steep, close slopes, with a high level of commitment but is short. In the second sector, the canyon widens, and the slopes are more distant.

Don't bother, unless it has spring flows and you have nothing else to do. Very few waterfalls, very little gorge, mostly just scrambling / hiking down a water course that gets drier as you descend.
