Points of interests

At Bechet Port, there is a 126.5 m (415 ft) tall unused electricity pylon, which is the tallest such structure in Romania. The pylon was built in 1967 as part of the Danube crossing of the 220 kV-line IșalnițaKozloduy; since the demolition of this line, this is the only relic of it.[4]
