    About this ebook

    The Danube is a romantic river. It begins in the Black Forest of Germany, slashes gorges through the mountains and meanders along broad plains. Many castles and palaces have been built along its banks. Many cities have been built, destroyed and rebuilt.
    A truly international river, it is a source of travel and trade for many European countries. Its basin collects water from many more before emptying into one of the largest deltas and national parks in the world.
    How much do you know about this European river? Do you know:
    How many countries does the Danube River run through?
    Which mountain range grew around the Danube River?
    How often does the Danube River freeze?
    The oldest castle in the world sits along the Danube. Which castle is it?
    What are Danube Pebbles?
