The Danube River

The Danube is the European second longest river after the Volga river. Classified as an international water way, it originates in the town of Donauschingen which is in the Black Forest of Germany at the confluence of the rivers Brigach and Breg The Danube then flows south-east for 2,872 km (1,785 mi), passing through four capital cities before emptying into the Black Sea via the Danube Delta in Romania and Ukraine.

At one time I lived on the Danube terrace near by the capital city of Serbia, Belgrade. The photo below shows a part of the Kalemegdan Park in Belgrade where the another river called the Sava flows in the Danube river. Believe me, the Danube is one of the most beautiful rivers.
