The gorge of the Jiu River in Romania is a part of Jiului National park in the western Carpathian Mountains. Through this gorge there is a railway line between Petrosani and Targu Jiu (Romanian railway line number 202. There are many railway tunnels, galleries and bridges. Due to age, parts of this line, like some old tunnels and retaining walls, seem abandoned and very spooky. The whole environment is left only to weather and natural influences. There are no houses and villages nearby, so in that gorge there is a large number of reptiles and poisonous snakes. It is known that snakes prefer to stay on the train tracks, especially in the evening when the tracks remains warm from the sun during the day. During the recording of trains at this line, I came across several snakes and some of them I managed to record. The most terrible of all was the snake in the middle of the railway tunnel in total darkness. This scene represents a horror note in this film and I think it completes the whole story about this railway line and its train traffic and makes it more interesting. Date of recording: April and May 2018

It's a wonder these snakes don't get scared by the extreme noise of passing trains. Usually reptiles feeling vibrations run away to hide, with a few exceptions. There's a few snake breeds that get aggravated and become offensive with noise or sudden movements.
Anyway, it looks like a lovely place, beautiful environment with forests and running rivers! Stunning!
AND, with a bit of luck and if you stay there overnight, you may even see Count Dracula himself!
He lived not far from there!
Thanks for the video.

is it my imagination, or must drivers of Austrian locos whistle at trespassing because of - say - due to some rule back in the home country? beautiful scenery, otherwise, and nice to see humanity there not edged out as much where 'thriving' big business meddles with life by incentivising the likes of rules and regulations that seem more instruments of strangleholds than much else. pressure points: how & where they are must surely be indicative. .. .

Great video, the scenery and mountains looks very similar to the Appalachian mountains here in the U. S. We also have many venomous viper's here as well. Many Rattlesnakes and Copperhead snakes, which are actually Pit Viper's. Those Horned Vipers are beautiful snakes.

Cool nosed vipers, interesting, how strong their poison is. I Think that they are a little bit more dangerous that their northern brothers.
