🌿 Plans for the long weekend? Take the Danube with you.

From lush wetlands to meandering riverbanks, the Danube River Basin is home to a remarkable diversity of life.

Our “Danube in your Pocket: Flora & Fauna” guide invites you on a visual journey through some of the plants, fish, insects and other aquatic species that help make this ecosystem so extraordinary, from tiny water fleas to mighty catfish.

So if you’re heading out to the river, a side channel or a nearby wetland, take a walk, look a little closer, and see how much life you can spot along the banks. 🌊🔍

One river. Fourteen countries. Countless communities connected by water.

On 29 June, people across the Danube River Basin will come together to celebrate Danube Day, honouring the river that links cultures, ecosystems and everyday lives from source to sea. 💧

Under this year’s motto, “United by Danube”, events across the basin will invite children, young people and communities to get closer to the waters around them, explore floodplains and aquatic life, and discover how we can all help protect these precious ecosystems together.
