The Danube is the longest river in the European Union and Europe's second longest river after the Volga.

It originates in the Black Forest, in Germany, where the Brigach and Breg rivers join at the German town Donaueschingen, after which it is known as the Danube and flows eastwards for a distance of some 2,850 km (1,771 miles).

It flows in 10 countries (Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, FR Yugoslavia, Romania, Bulgaria, Moldavia and Ukraine) and crosses 4 capitals (Belgrade, Bratislava, Budapest and Vienna), before emptying into the Black Sea, via the Danube Delta, in Romania and Ukraine. The navigable part is 2,414 km.
