What is the Danube River?
The Danube is Europe's second longest river, flowing through ten countries from Germany to the Black Sea. It's a vital waterway for trade, transport, and tourism, and its water levels are crucial for navigation. The current record low levels, caused by drought, are exposing historical wrecks and disrupting modern river traffic.
