The Danube (Donau in German; Dunaj in Slovak; Donava in Slovene; Duna in Hungarian; Dunav in Croatian and Serbian; Dunav or Дунав in Bulgarian; Dunăre in Romanian; Дунай (Dunay) in Ukrainian; Danuvius in Latin) is Europe's second-longest river (after the Volga).
The Danube is navigable by ocean ships from the Black Sea to Brăila, in Romania and by river ships to Ulm, in Germany.
In 1999, transport on the river was made difficult by the NATO bombing of 3 bridges in Serbia and Montenegro.

 Danube River
The Danube is the second longest river in Europe behind the Volga and the only major European river to flow from West to East.
The Danube was once a great center for human daily life and at the same time a fabulous ecosystem with hundreds of species living in its waters or on its banks.
Furthermore, the agricultural sector contributes largely in the load of nitrogen and phosphorus in the Danube, and transport is an important source of oil pollution and lead contamination.

The Danube River Basin has more than 100 different species of fish – including five sturgeon species – and it is home to rare birds like the white pelican, white-tailed eagle or black stork.
Until the end of the 19th century, the Danube was a wide branching river with an extensive network of tributaries and backwaters.
Flowing 2,857 km from Germany’s Black Forest to the Romanian and Ukrainian Danube Delta by the Black Sea, the Danube is Europe’s only major river which flows west to east – from the Member States of the European Union through the former Eastern Bloc countries of what is now Central and Eastern Europe (CEE).
