A Day on the Danube A DAY ON THE DANUBE Unconventional sites and places, the beauty of the unknown, new and exciting. The Danube offers all of this to the refined destination searcher. The river is a perfect fit for all new voyagers – those willing to go “off the beaten track”, avoid what is well known, and opt for a more unconventional approach: the adventurous holiday, where every day is a new discovery, an experience to remember, a chance to explore. Travelling along the Danube is the best choice for someone who wishes to fully appreciate river views from secluded hiking trails, traditional cuisine and wine, strolling through picturesque towns, resting in a spa, or simply biking through villages past luscious pastures. The Danube is a place where untouched nature coexists with ancient, baroque or modern monuments and architecture, where dozens of languages and traditions embrace each other, where the eyes enjoy and the breath is deeper. Each of the river’s 2,888 kilometres offers the guarantee of something different and unique – from the landscapes and wildlife, to the diverse cultures. А day on the Danube is a day you deserve.

It all begins in Germany, in the small town of Donaueschingen. From its headwaters here in the Black Forest, the Young Danube flows to Passau and beyond, passing through beautiful, often little-known landscapes. The German stretch of the Danube has everything you could want of a river: picturesque towns, UNESCO World Heritage sites, castles, palaces, abbeys, countless sporting and leisure activities, and all kinds of events. What’s more, the river is awash with delicious treats from the kitchen and the cellar – including beers to suit every taste – and you’ll always be greeted with a warm welcome, even in the smallest villages. There’s no question about it, the Danube has it all. So, what are you waiting for? #EnjoyGermanNature germany.travel germanytourism GermanyTourism germanytourism germanytourism germanytourism danube.travel 7 Donaueschingen – Ulm – Passau © Heinz Bunse Donaueschingen: Birthplace of the Danube The Danube doesn’t just rise, it is born.

  • Treating Two 18Th Century Maps of the Danube in Association with Google-Provided Imagery
    ON THE DIGITAL REVIVAL OF HISTORIC CARTOGRAPHY: TREATING TWO 18TH CENTURY MAPS OF THE DANUBE IN ASSOCIATION WITH GOOGLE-PROVIDED IMAGERY Evangelos Livieratos Angeliki Tsorlini Maria Pazarli [email protected] Chrysoula Boutoura Myron Myridis Aristotle University of Thessaloniki Faculty of Surveying Engineering University Campus, Box 497 GRE - 541 24 Thessaloniki, Greece Abstract The great navigable Danube River (known as the Istros River to the Ancient Greeks and as one of the crucial ends of the Roman Empire northern territories) is an emblematic fluvial feature of the overall European historic and cultural heritage in the large. Originating in the German Black Forest as two small rivers (Brigach and Breg) converging at the town of Donaueschingen, Danube is flowing for almost 2850 km mainly eastwards, passing through ten states (Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, Romania, Bulgaria, Moldova and Ukraine) and four European capitals (Vienna, Bratislava, Budapest and Belgrade) with embouchure in the west coasts of the Black Sea via the Danube Delta, mainly in Romania. Danube played a profound role in the European political, social, economic and cultural history influencing in a multifold manner the heritage of many European nations, some of those without even a physical connection with the River, as it is the case of the Greeks, to whom the Danube is a reference to their own 18th century Enlightenment movement. Due to Danube’s important role in History, the extensive emphasis to its cartographic depiction was obviously a conditio sine qua non especially in the 17th and 18th century European cartography. In this paper, taking advantage of the modern digital technologies as applied in the recently established domain of cartographic heritage, two important and historically significant 18th century maps of the Danube are comparatively discussed in view also to the reference possibilities available today in relevant studies by the digital maps offered by powerful providers as e.g.

In the past century, around 90% of the original Danube wetlands have been lost due to human activities. Today, most of the last remaining large-scale floodplain forest complexes are protected by the Danube Protected Areas, famous for their richness in biodiversity. Riparian forests are of great ecological importance, playing an important role in both nature and human populations.

  • Drainage Structures and Transit-Time Distributions in Conduit-Dominated
    Drainage structures and transit-time distributions in conduit-dominated and fissured karst aquifer systems Zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades einer DOKTORIN DER NATURWISSENSCHAFTEN von der Fakultät für Bauingenieur-, Geo- und Umweltwissenschaften des Karlsruher Instituts für Technologie (KIT) genehmigte DISSERTATION von Dipl.-Geol. Ute Lauber aus Dachau Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 21.11.2014 Referent: Prof. Dr. Nico Goldscheider Korreferent: Prof. Dr. Tim Bechtel Karlsruhe 2014 Abstract Abstract Abstract Karst aquifers are widely distributed across the world and are important groundwater resources. Solutionally-enlarged conduits embedded in fissured rock matrix result in a highly heterogene- ous underground drainage pattern that makes karst aquifers difficult to characterize. To ensure sustainable protection and management of karst water resources, hydrogeologic knowledge of karst systems is required. However, the quantitative characterization of groundwater flow in karst systems remains a major challenge. Specific investigating techniques and approaches are needed to account for the complexity of drainage. This thesis emphasizes the identification of drainage structures and the quantification of related transit-time distributions and hydraulic pa- rameters. To account for the strong heterogeneities of different types of catchment areas, three diverse karst aquifer systems are investigated: a conduit-dominated karst system, a fissured karst system and an aquifer system that comprises a karst and a porous-media (alluvial/rockfall) aquifer. For a detailed hydrogeologic assessment of the different catchment areas, adapted methods applied include a combination of artificial tracer tests, natural tracer analysis, and dis- charge analysis. The first two parts of this thesis describe a conduit-dominated karst system, the catchment area of the Blautopf (Swabian Alb, Germany).

    Overview Bicycle Tours in Germany: ExpeditionPlus! Bicycling the Danube River from Germany's Black Forest to Romania's Black Sea Coast OVERVIEW This bicycle expedition combines two bicycle tours that travel the full length of the Danube River from Germany's Black Forest to the delta of the Danube in Romania on the Black Sea coast. We bicycle through some of the great capitals of central and eastern Europe on this bicycle ride through history, including Vienna, Budapest, Belgrade and Bucharest, Romania.
