While not quite the blue that is referred to in Johann Strauss’ Blue Danube waltz, the Danube River is still a most impressive feature of the European landscape.

Europe’s second longest river extends for 2,850km, from Germany’s Black Forest in the west, and eastward towards Romania on the Black Sea. It provides a home for 80 million people and is regarded as the world’s most international river.
