Nice to see a *short* yet informative video. 👍🇦🇺
So many creators have significantly increased their running times, too often just waffling along.

You forgot to put a pin on one more important capital city - Belgrade.
Fun fact: In Serbia, in Djerdap canyon, Danube is the narrowest and deepest, in a part of the flow called "the cauldron" because the water seems to boil due to the reflection from the underwater rocks.

Vienna calling, thanks for the video. There's a Viennese Engineer who 4 months ago made a great video (worth watching for the visual storytelling alone) called "Die größte Baustelle in der Geschichte Wiens". It's about the 21km long artificial Danube Island, a public recreational resort splitting the Danube build in the 70's. Explains how it's related to previous flooding and swamp there. Indeed the channel covers the technical challenges of sewer and subway construction of notable places in the city.

Love it, I crossed over the Danube River from Bulgaria into Romania....Beautiful!!!

What a fascinating glimpse into the Danube. Thanks.

What you are missing is that the Danube is one big reason in Europe not to commit suicide (by jumping into it). For a German would not want being put into Austria, not even when dead, Austrians feel like this about Hungary, Hungarians about Serbia, the Serbs about Romania, and the Romanians, well the Black Sea borders on Russia and Turkey… Greetings from Vienna!

And Belgrade which is at the confluence of the Danube and the Sava

Failed to note the 4th national capital - Belgrade, Serbia.

Excellent information and narration...

Beautiful, to the point video that explains the Danube. I always heard about this river, but never understood how it actually works.

I got to explore the Danube delta in Romania. It is diverse and lovely

You forgot to mention the controversy re. the source of the Danube river. Conventionally, the Danube is formed where the streams Brigach and Breg meet just east of Donaueschingen. Hydrologically, the source of the lager one, the Breg, is also the source of the Danube and is located near Furtwangen about 30km NW from Donaueschingen. And last but not least, the city of Donaueschingen claims that the Donaubach, which rises in the castle park in Donaueschingen, is the source.

I took a dinner cruise around Vienna. That was enough to give me the desire to do the whole river cruise. You can go from Amsterdam to Bucharest. It used to go a bit further downstream but that's no so advisable nowadays.

I like Danube. Definitely a river which needs some love and attention it deserves. Nature around is great. And we Europeans have it here and barely pay attention. While in Bratislava it was my fav place to go. Just chill in city. Or move away from it by paths or bike lanes there is plenty to be seen. Would like to boat it one day or months.
