Along the Danube (Hungary) Vacation Travel Video Guide

Travel video about destination Along the Danube in Hungary. The Danube is a European river and although the Volga is longer and the Rhine is of greater economic importance, no other river flows through ten countries almost three thousand kilometres from its source within the Black Forest, to its delta estuary in the Black Sea. Donau-Eschingen is the birthplace of the Danube whose source is situated in the gardens of Fürstenberg Castle in which, on the top of the Mother Baar Fountain, is her daughter, the young Danube, who points towards the Black Sea. After around two hundred kilometres in the valley of the Young Danube, the famous river reaches Ulm, an important centre of trade. The Minster Of Ulm is a masterpiece of European Gothic and, rising up a hundred and sixty one metres, its church tower is the highest in the world. Donauwörth developed from a fishing settlement on the Wörnitz island of Ried from where the river flows into the Danube. In 877 A.D. a bridge was built across the Danube and an intersection of European trade routes was created. Linz, the capital city of Upper Austria, owes its good fortune to its strategic location at the junction of the Traun. On the main square, an ornately decorated Trinity Column marks the spot where the mediaeval Salt Road reached the market square. The Babenbergs built the city as a border fortress against the Bavarians. The capital of Hungary, Budapest, is the Pearl On The Danube, an ancient international city. High above the banks of the Danube is Buda’s Castle Hill with its imposing Castle Palace. The Danube ends in the port town of Sulina Delta in which a cathedral serves as a reminder of liberation from the Turks. In this natural universe of land and water, which originated almost ten thousand years ago, nearly three thousand kilometres of river come to an end. The Danube is a multicultural European lifeline, a magnificent waterway that flows through both history and time. -------------- Watch more travel videos ► https://goo.gl/MXPgSs Join us.
