Donautal (Danube River)

Papa pick us up at 1.30pm and travel for about 1 hour to Donautal to hike and enjoy the beautiful scenery there... Yes, papa alone who are still suffering from backache who still want to bless us and bring us out.... ''Lord, pls heal papa and bless papa and mama abundantly.''

Pic 1: After 10mins walk

Pic 2: The River of Danube is the second longest river in Europe. It is the only major European river to flow from west to east. It rises in Germany in the Black Forest as two smaller rivers called Brigach and Breg, which join in Donaueschingen and are called Donau henceforth, flowing south-east for a distance of about 2850 km (1770 miles), to the Black Sea in Romania where the Danube Delta is.

The Danube is an important international waterway. It flows through nine countries (Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Romania, and Ukraine), with tributary rivers in seven other countries. It flows through the following large cities:

  • Ulm - Germany
  • Vienna - Austria
  • Bratislava - Slovakia
  • Budapest - Hungary
  • Belgrade - Serbia
  • Braila - Romania

The Danube is mentioned in the title of a famous waltz by Austrian composer Johann Strauss, An der schönen, blauen Donau (By the Beautiful Blue Danube).
