That projecting needle at the top is the Gropa lui Petro, the grave of St. Peter; the two gigantic forms on either side are his apostolic companions; yonder monster opposite is the Babile, and the one which closes the vista is the Golumbaczka Mali or Dove-rock; while the gray pinnacle which towers above is the high Robbers' Peak, Rasbojnik Beliki. Between these walls flows the Danube in its rocky bed. The mighty mother-stream, accustomed far above on the Hungarian plains to flow with majestic quiet in a bed three miles wide, to caress the overhanging willows, to look on blooming meadows and play with chattering mills, is here confined in a pass only a hundred and fifty fathoms in width. With what rage it rushes through! He who traveled with it before recognizes it no longer; the grisly giant is rejuvenated into heroic youth.
