WELCOME TO THE DANUBE RIVER
Quick Facts: The Danube is Europe's second longest river, after the Volga. It is located in Central and Eastern Europe. The Danube was once a long-standing frontier of the Roman Empire, and today flows through 10 countries, more than any other river in the world. Since ancient times, the Danube has become a traditional trade route in Europe. The river is also an important source of energy and drinking water.
