A long promenade by the Danube river in Zemun and Novi Beograd sometimes offers fountains where you can refresh yourself in the hot summer days, or just admire their beauty and simplicity.
The Danube (German Donau, Hungarian Duna, Serbo-Croatian Dunav, Romanian Dunarea) is the second-longest river in Europe (the Volga being the longest). It is the only major European river to flow from west to east. It rises in Germany in the Black Forest as two smaller rivers called Brigach and Breg, which join in Donaueschingen and are called Donau henceforth, flowing south-east for a distance of about 2850 km(1770 miles), to the Black Sea in Romania where the Danube Delta is.
The Danube river flows through the following large cities:
Ulm - Germany
Vienna - Austria
Bratislava - Slovakia
Budapest - Hungary
Belgrade - Serbia
The Danube is an important international waterway. It flows through ten countries :
Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, Germany, Hungary,
Moldova, Slovakia, Romania, Ukraine, Serbia
and Montenegro and has tributary rivers in seven other countries.
After the construction of the German Rhine-Main-Danube Canal in 1992, the river is part of a trans-european waterway from Rotterdam on the North Sea to Sulina on the Black Sea (3500 km). The amount of goods transported on the Danube raised to about 100 million tons in 1987. In 1999, transport on the river was made difficult by the NATO bombing of 3 bridges in Serbia. The clearance of the debris was finished in 2002.
Although the headwaters of the Danube are relatively small today, geologically, the Danube is much older than the Rhine, with which its catchment area competes in today's southern Germany. This has a few interesting geological complications. Since the Rhine as the only river rising in the Alps mountains flows north towards the North Sea, an invisible line divides large parts of southern Germany, which is sometimes referred to as the European Watershed.
However, before the last Ice Age in the Pleistocene, the Rhine started at the southwestern tip of the Black Forest, while the waters from the Alps that today feed the Rhine were carried east by the so-called Urdonau (original Danube). Parts of this ancient river's bed, which was much larger than today's Danube, can still be seen in (now waterless) canyons in today's landshape of the Swabian Alb. After the Upper Rhine Valley had descended, most waters from the Alps changed their direction and began feeding the Rhine. Today's upper Danube is but a meak reflection of the ancient one.
Since the Alb is largely shaped of porous limestone, and since the Rhine's level is much lower compared to the Danube, today, subsurface rivers carry much water from the Danube to the Rhine. On many days in the summer, when the Danube carries little water, it completely oozes away noisily into these underground channels at two locations in the Swabian Alp, which are referred to as the Donauversickerung (Danube Sink). Most of this water resurfaces only 12 km south at the Aachtopf, Germany's most yielding wellspring with an average production of 8,000 liters per second, north of Lake Constance -- thus feeding the Rhine. The European Water Divide thus in fact only for those waters that pass beyond this point, and only during the days of the year where the Danube carries enough water in the first place. Since this enormous amount of underground water erodes much of its surrounding limestone, it is estimated that the Danube upper course will one day disappear entirely in favor of the Rhine.

We are thinking to take Danube river cruise from Budapest
to Nuremberg and then on our own to Prague. We have never
done river cruise. we are looking for recommendations, experiences and cocerns like if we book cruise now and what
are the probabilities of ship replaced by bus because river is too
low or too much rain etc. Does insurance coverage allow for
cancellation!!!
Thanks for help.
Gate 1, on their website had a special for this cruise. It is a first class cruise on MS Bolero. Does anyone know about this company
and this ship including dining !!! Thanks.
Who provides the best all around value in this route!!!
Thanks again.
there are diff. ways to see the value of a cruise.
I mean what sense does it make when you have a perfect boat with excellent food, while you pass by the most important places at night maybe.
Give me the link and I may look into the itinerary, and might tell you what you are missing...
