Network for sustainable mobility and tourism along the Danube

The Danube is a promising and unconventional travel destination that knows no bounds. With 2.888 km from the source to the delta, the Danube is the second longest river in Europe and connects a wealth of people, cultures and countries. Each section of the river emits its own magical attraction: from impressive natural wonders to architectural witnesses of a rich and turbulent past, to charming villages and vibrant metropolises on the banks of the Danube. The exceptional attractions along the Danube line up like pearls on a string.
