The Danube

The Danube flows through a wide variety of landscapes and connects Central Europe with the southeast. At 2,857 kilometers, it is the second longest river in Europe.

On its way to the Black Sea, the Danube flows through 10 countries and forms a border river over a length of 1,071 kilometers. Its catchment area covers 817,000 square kilometers.

From its official source in Donaueschingen to the German-Austrian border in Jochenstein, near the Haus am Strom, the Danube has already traveled 633 kilometers and has grown into a considerable river.
