As well being know for having its own waltz, the Danube is famous for playing an integral role in European history. Birth place of several European civilisations, for centuries the river has acted as a physical border between ten of the nations along its course and has provided a vital European trade route for an additional ten countries. Since 1992, the Danube has been part of a trade route from the North Sea to the Black Sea. Starting in the Mountains of Germany’s Black Forest, the Danube reaches the Black Sea via the Danube Delta in Romania. The reeded, marsh lands of the delta are listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, because of their position on the migratory route of several large species of bird and are a great place to bird watch. If you visit the cities along the river's route and drink water from the taps you will be drinking the Danube (purified of course) - just another way to experience it...
