The Danube River<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Danube River<\/span>\u00a0is renowned for being one of the most romantic waterways in the world. This remarkable reputation for the Danube comes from its spectacular rolling hillsides, lush vineyards, and medieval castles. No wonder the Danube has been a great attraction for musicians, artists and poets throughout the centuries. The Danube\u2019s waterways expand for thousands of miles through Central Europe and flow eastward through Austria\u2019s spectacular Wachau Valley, a wine region famous for its natural beauty and captivating white wines.<\/p>\n
