Ocna De Fier
Ocna de Fier (, ) is a commune in Caraș-Severin County, in the Banat region of southwestern Romania. It is composed of a single village, Ocna de Fier. History Along with the Dognecea area, Ocna de Fier is among the few settlements in the world that supported almost continuous mining for some 4000 years. Archaeological evidence shows that mining in the area dates back to the Bronze Age (1900–1700 BC). The main ore exploited in those times was native copper from the oxidation zone of the deposit. Later on, iron ores brought about a gradual switch from copper to iron mining. Mining was an activity of the Dacians, the ancient inhabitants of present-day Romania.

At Cracul cu Aur (Romanian for "Golden ...
