The remains of a mammoth were recently discovered in northern Bulgaria as Danube River levels reached a historic low, revealing bones potentially thousands of years old.
About Danube River:
It is the second-longest river of the European continent, after the Russian Volga River.
Course:
It flows from the confluence of the Brigach and Breg rivers, close to the German town of Donaueschingen in the Black Forest region of Germany.
The river passes through 10 European nations: Germany, Austria, Hungary, Serbia, Bulgaria, Croatia, Slovakia, Moldova, Ukraine, and Romania.
It ultimately drains into the Black Sea via the Danube Delta.
The Danube delta is located in the Tulcea County of Romania and it is comparatively young and continuously growing.
It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its rich biodiversity.
The Danube is fed by major tributaries like the Inn, Drava, Sava, Tisza, Prut, and Siret.
The Danube River flows directly through many significant European cities, including four national capitals – Vienna (Austria), Bratislava (Slovakia), Budapest (Hungary), and Belgrade (Serbia).
Countries along the river ship goods from ports of Belgrade, Serbia; Budapest,Hungary; Vienna, Austria; and Regensburg, Germany.
Through the Rhine-Main-Danube Canal, it connects the North Sea at Rotterdam to the Black Sea at Sulina, forming a trans-European inland waterway.
