Nera (Danube) Nera (Danube) The Nera (, or Нера, ) is a river running through Romania and Serbia. It is a left tributary of the Danube, which it joins near Banatska Palanka. The Nera rises in the Semenic mountains, the easternmost part of the Banat region, south of the city of Reșița, in the Caraș-Severin County of Romania. The river starts at the confluence of headwaters of the Nergana and Nerganița then flows straight to the south from the Piatra Grozbe peak, under which it springs. Reaching the village of Borlovenii Vechi, the Nera turns southwest, flowing between the Semenic and Banat
