Headwaters of The Danube - Rick Steves Travel Forum
Jan 23, 2012 · By the headwaters, I assume you mean Donaueschingen. Two streams, the Breg and the Brigach, come together in Donaueschingen to form the Donau (Danube). I think some town farther up at least one of the streams also claim to be the headwaters of the river, but it is in Donaueschingen that the name, Donau, first appears.

Romantic Danube River Cruise/Which Direction?
Oct 7, 2024 · One thing, we have taken several river cruises and I always compare prices and itineraries on Viking, Gate 1, AMA Waterways and others. Gate 1 beats them all in price, by far.

Sep 29, 2024 · I have taken a couple of Viking River Cruises, a Budapest to Passau Danube River cruise in 2013 and just debarked (Dec 2024) from a Moselle and Rhine River Christmas Market cruise. The Danube I remember as excellent and casual. I took my mother shortly before her passing so we weren’t able to do much.

Germany - Danube v. Rhine River Cruises - Rick Steves
