Visiting history: Eine Bootsfahrt auf der Donau, Juli 2024
“No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it’s not the same river and he’s not the same man.”
The Danube is the second-longest river in Europe, after the Volga in Russia. It flows through Central and Southeastern Europe, from the Black Forest south into the Black Sea. A large and historically important river, it was once a frontier of the Roman Empire. In the 21st century, it connects ten European countries, running through their territories or marking a border. The Danube flows southeast for 2,850 km (1,770 mi), passing through or bordering Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, Romania, Bulgaria, Moldova, and Ukraine. Among the many cities on the river are four national capitals: Vienna, Bratislava, Budapest, and Belgrade.
We cruised the Danube from just south of Munich passing through Salzburg, Vienna, Bratislava and Budapest. It was a gorgeous beautiful trip. Enjoy the photos!
