THE DANUBE<br />

With 2.888 km from the source to the delta,<br />

the <strong>Danube</strong> is the second longest river<br />

in Europe. It connects a wealth of people,<br />

cultures and countries. The majestic river<br />

winds its way through 10 European countries<br />

(Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary,<br />

Croatia, Serbia, Romania, Bulgaria, Moldova<br />

and the Ukraine) before it empties into<br />

the Black Sea.<br />

The <strong>Danube</strong> unites, divides, fascinates and<br />

touches. It has shaped countries and their<br />

people – scenically, historically and culturally.<br />

Each section of the river is unique and<br />

emits its own magical attraction. From impressive<br />

natural wonders to architectural<br />

witnesses of a rich and turbulent past, to<br />

charming villages and vibrant metropolises<br />

on the banks of the <strong>Danube</strong>. These<br />

exceptional attractions line up like pearls<br />

on a string.<br />

The queen of Europe‘s rivers is a promising<br />

and unconventional travel destination<br />

that knows no bounds and is just waiting<br />

to be discovered.


BLUE DANUBE<br />

of transportation. The picturesque landscapes through which<br />

the <strong>Danube</strong> flows, the cultural treasures and the culinary delights<br />

of the <strong>Danube</strong> region can be easily explored without a<br />

car and thus stress-free.<br />

The journey is the reward<br />

It is not where you are going, it’s about how you get there<br />

The <strong>Danube</strong> is one of the most promising tourist destinations in Europe. To reach the <strong>Danube</strong> and<br />

explore its diverse attractions, most tourists use their private car, this entails a negative impact on the<br />

environment and the local population.<br />

In order to counter this situation and to steer it in a different direction, 15 project partners from nine<br />

countries have joined forces in the Transdanube.Pearls project and are pursuing a common vision:<br />

To perceive the entire <strong>Danube</strong> region as a unique The main aim is, to build a network of destinations<br />

– so called <strong>Danube</strong>.Pearls – which will allow<br />

destination in which tourists as well as inhabitants<br />

can move around with socially fair, economically tourists to travel in an environmentally friendly<br />

viable, environmentally friendly and health-promoting<br />

mobility services.<br />

• to the respective Pearls,<br />

way<br />

• from one Pearl to another and<br />

• within each Pearl.<br />

ULM/NEU-ULM<br />

TWO CITIES, ONE DESTINATION<br />

Linked and yet divided by the <strong>Danube</strong>: the old former free<br />

imperial city of Ulm in Baden-Württemberg and the new<br />

city of Neu-Ulm in Bavaria. Ulm is the birthplace of Albert Einstein<br />

and is characterized by its historic and picturesque fishermen’s<br />

quarter and the gothic Minster which is the highest<br />

church building in the world. Neu-Ulm offers a unique panorama<br />

on the <strong>Danube</strong>, beautiful parks in the heart of the city and<br />

a modern shopping center. The cities form a cultural center<br />

between medieval and modern times; with many museums,<br />

traditional festivals and regional cuisine. Sport enthusiasts can<br />

enjoy a bicycle tour along the popular <strong>Danube</strong> Cycle Route.<br />

Moreover, the twin-cities provide the perfect starting point for<br />

exploring the neighbouring areas by train or bike, such as the<br />

source of the <strong>Danube</strong> in Donaueschingen, the Swabian Alb<br />

with its magnificent countryside, romantic towns and the historic<br />

cloisters in Upper Swabia. The region gained attention<br />

in 2017 with the “Caves and Ice-Age Art of the Swabian Alb”,<br />

which received the UNESCO world heritage label. The world’s<br />

oldest known musical instruments and figurative artworks<br />

have been discovered here. They are made of mammoth ivory<br />

and date back 40.000 years! A visit of the caves shows how<br />

ice-age inhabitants lived in former times.<br />

Medieval times meet modern times in Ulm and Neu-Ulm<br />

A trip to the twin-cities guarantees a special experience: You will visit the magical old town, picturesque<br />

quarters and old lanes right next to contemporary buildings. Enjoy calm and relaxing recreational areas<br />

along the <strong>Danube</strong> or visit historic caves and bring to life the ice-artist within you.<br />

DANUBE UPPER AUSTRIA<br />

JEWELS BEYOND A POSTCARD VIEW<br />

Do you remember that feeling when your heart started<br />

pumping as soon as the curtain rose at the puppet<br />

theater and revealed its magnificent setting? This is the same<br />

childlike joy that everyone experiences when they step out<br />

onto the platform that provides a view of the <strong>Danube</strong> loop<br />

in Schlögen. It is the flagship of the Upper Austrian <strong>Danube</strong><br />

region, which extends from Passau, 180 km downstream, to<br />

the small village of Grein. Starting from the steep bank slopes<br />

BRATISLAVA REGION<br />

WATER & WINE, HISTORY & SUN<br />

Bratislava Region is the smallest region in Slovakia in terms<br />

of size, but the variety of remarkable places makes it one<br />

of the most interesting ones! The region is rich in aesthetic<br />

natural landscapes and important monuments. There are<br />

outstanding viewpoints, beautiful forests, bike paths along<br />

the <strong>Danube</strong>, interesting geological sites and impressive historical<br />

and sacred sites. Bratislava Region has its very own<br />

little hotspots, where the region can be experienced to its<br />

fullest.<br />

Záhorie, which lies west of the capital, is a natural paradise<br />

in which pine forests dominate. The little Carpathians (north<br />

of the capital) are decorated by vineyards. Here you can<br />

experience folk tradition up close and good wine as well<br />

as excellent food. Senec, east of Bratislava, is known for its<br />

clean lakes. Podunajsko (<strong>Danube</strong> area) is mainly associated<br />

with the <strong>Danube</strong> and is characterized by water sports such as<br />

canoeing, sailing and rafting. Here you can find hot springs<br />

and outdoor swimming pools, which are open all year round.<br />

Finally, there is of course Bratislava, the metropolis, the gate<br />

to the region, with its vibrant and lively happenings.<br />

POMURJE<br />

A PLACE WHERE TIME RUNS SLOWER<br />

There are certain landscapes, which grant people with<br />

inspiration or warmth and give them a new strength to<br />

refill their energy. If you are looking for one of those places,<br />

Pomurje is perfect for you. In the northeast of Slovenia, where<br />

the dreamy Pannonian plain is surrounded by hills covered with<br />

fields, forests and vineyards, you will find time for yourself and<br />

your loved ones. Experience peace, serenity and nature. Stop<br />

for a moment and listen to the songs of the birds, relax your<br />

eyes at the endless plains of colourful fields, cross the mystic<br />

Mura river on traditional wooden boats, reserve a bed in one of<br />

many tourist farms and let yourself go Pomurje-style. Feel the<br />

tradition and taste unique local cuisine. Treat yourself with local<br />

ham, meat from tünka, dödoli, prekmurska gibanica, bograč<br />

and other culinary delights that you cannot get anywhere else.<br />

Enjoy your moment with a glass of wine accompanied by a<br />

breath-taking view on the picturesque wine-bearing terraces.<br />

Discover Pomurje and its hidden corners with a scenic bicycle<br />

trip on the more than 600 km of marked bicycle trails. Jump<br />

into the thermal water, or dance to the rhythm of the accordion<br />

at a local feast. They say that time in Pomurje runs slower. Why<br />

hurry when the local countryside beckons you with its peacefulness<br />

and picturesque nature to stop and stay awhile.<br />

VUKOVAR<br />

JEWEL AT THE HEART OF THE DANUBE<br />

The one thousand year long presence of life in this area, located<br />

in what might be called the very heart of the <strong>Danube</strong>,<br />

has always been marked by profound harmony between man<br />

and nature. Kopački Rit nature park is a type of interior <strong>Danube</strong><br />

delta and the most important ornithological reserve in Croatia –<br />

a home to more than 270 species of birds.<br />

From Osijek, a city with medieval heritage and picturesque art<br />

nouveau facades, the EV 6 - <strong>Danube</strong> Cycle Route takes you all<br />

the way to Vukovar and the European destination of excellence<br />

VUKOVAR-VUČEDOL-ILOK, recipient of the EDEN prize for cultural<br />

tourism.<br />

The <strong>Danube</strong> valley is rich with castles, museums, stories and legends.<br />

Visit them and discover the mysterious world of Vučedol,<br />

enigmatic stories from the past as well as the Vukovar Nocturne.<br />

Taking a boat trip to the village of Nijemci leads you into a whole<br />

new world, like a Robinson Crusoe-style adventure. Along the<br />

way, you will also enjoy the view of charming vineyards overlooking<br />

the <strong>Danube</strong>, as well as a glass of heavenly wine for every<br />

wandering passenger. Mesmerised by the beauty of the surrounding<br />

nature, cultural heritage and the taste of excellent wine,<br />

plan to stop and stay here for a while, because it is here that the<br />

<strong>Danube</strong> smells like nowhere else.<br />

IRON GATE ROMANIA<br />

AN AUTHENTIC BLUE LAND<br />

The Romanian Iron Gate Pearl is representative both in terms<br />

of diversity and value and is also marked by the <strong>Danube</strong><br />

river and its beautiful gorges. The <strong>Danube</strong> gorges are an integral<br />

part of the “Iron Gates I” natural park. The cultural and<br />

historical potential includes important tangible and intangible<br />

elements of the local cultural identity. The area is home to<br />

several Roman heritage sites.<br />

The Herculane Spa resort is characterized by its thermal springs<br />

and setting in a valley sheltered by mountains. It is one of the<br />

oldest spas in the world with an attestation of more than 1850<br />

years.<br />

Orsova municipality was the site of a Roman port in Dacia<br />

Malvensis. Few tourists know that old Orsova town is presently<br />

submerged under water due to the construction of the Iron<br />

Gates dam. The Romanian Iron Gate Pearl offers many tourist<br />

attractions to the visitors such as caves, old monasteries,<br />

Pescarus island, Decebal Rex statue, Roman Catholic cathedral<br />

and the museum “Iron Gates”, the remains of the old Roman<br />

camp Drobeta and remains of the legendary Traian’s bridge. In<br />

the Iron Gate area mountains and water harmonize perfectly.<br />

Here, wilderness and civilisation reunite to form a place of impressive<br />

beauty.<br />

DJERDAP / IRON GATE SERBIA<br />

WHERE THE DANUBE TELLS HISTORY<br />

Following the <strong>Danube</strong> on its journey to the Black Sea, you<br />

will reach one of the most beautiful sceneries along the<br />

whole river – Djerdap Gorge (the Iron Gates). This natural<br />

Pearl lies between the slopes of the Carpathian and Balkan<br />

mountains and it is the place, where the <strong>Danube</strong> is its widest.<br />

Besides its breath-taking nature, which you can enjoy by visiting<br />

the Djerdap national park, you will have the opportunity<br />

to discover various layers of history. Each encapsulating the<br />

presence of different cultures that settled the river throughout<br />

the ages. From traces of neolithic men that carved fishlike<br />

sculptures at the archaeological site Lepenski Vir, the face<br />

of Dacian king Decebalus, tables and bridge pillars built by<br />

Roman emperors, fortresses and castles from Ottoman era,<br />

all the way to monumental industrial heritage of modern<br />

times. All of this can be experienced between the cities Veliko<br />

Gradište and Kladovo, within less than 200 km.<br />

Besides the unique culture and history of Djerdap, this Pearl<br />

will also welcome you with fresh food, undiscovered wine<br />

sorts and the hospitality of the locals.<br />

VIDIN REGION<br />

A TIMELESS UNIQUE EXPERIENCE<br />

The essence of Vidin Region is the unique combination of<br />

significant cultural, historical and natural sites with preserved<br />

folklore traditions, authentic culinary delights, local<br />

wines and attractions for incredible experiences. The advantage<br />

of the Vidin Region is that different kinds of tourists can<br />

experience unforgettable memories, as the strategic Roman<br />

road, that comes from Singidunum (Belgrade) and the Iron<br />

Gates pass through the region. Therefore numerous monuments<br />

still stand from the Roman era within the Vidin Region:<br />

Like the fortress Kale – Belogradchik, which was built<br />

at the time of the Roman empire or the medieval fortress<br />

“Baba Vida”, which is one of the most preserved medieval<br />

defence facilities in Bulgaria. It was built on the remains of<br />

an older ancient fortress named Bononia. The guests of the<br />

region can also enjoy the natural phenomena Belogradchik<br />

rocks which is a natural rock formation. In 2009, in the world<br />

campaign for the selection of ‘The new 7 Natural Wonders of<br />

the World’, Belogradchik rocks finished in second place after<br />

the Grand Canyon and the Magura cave which is the largest<br />

cave in Bulgaria. Due to its cave paintings and the variety of<br />

shape- and size of the formations, the Magura cave is one of<br />

the most unique caves in south eastern Europe.<br />

RUSE REGION<br />

EXPERIENCE THE SPIRIT OF FREEDOM<br />

In the eastern part of the Bulgarian <strong>Danube</strong>, a whole region<br />

can be described as a true Pearl. The heart of the Pearl is<br />

the city of Ruse. In the 19th century it was the gate for the<br />

cultural European influence on Bulgarian lands. Its preserved<br />

patterns of urban architecture and museums are among the<br />

most attractive and stylish throughout the country. The Pearl<br />

is famous for its rich cultural and historical heritage dating<br />

back to the early days of the Roman empire. Here, ancient<br />

cities were built around 1800 years ago as Roman fortresses.<br />

Starting in Svishtov the Pearl stretches across Ruse and<br />

the small fishing town of Tutrakan all the way down to the<br />

100 km distant Silistra. Nowadays, all of them are river ports<br />

with picturesque <strong>Danube</strong> parks offering many opportunities<br />

to explore the wild and romantic landscape by cycling, hiking<br />

or sailing. With the Srebarna biosphere reserve, which is<br />

a UNESCO world heritage site, the Rusenski Lom park and<br />

the Persina nature park, the region presents many interesting<br />

natural sites that are ideal for seeking untouched nature.<br />

While visiting this pearl, you will feel the spirit of freedom,<br />

freshness and a bit of mystery everywhere.<br />

Recommodations<br />

The Ruse Pearl is ideal for embarking on a search<br />

for traces of the Roman era. In Svishtov you<br />

can make a visit to the Roman camp and early<br />

Byzantine city Novae. It is the best-preserved<br />

legionary camp in the north-eastern provinces of<br />

the Roman empire. The next visit is at Sexsaginta<br />

Prista located in the north-western part of the<br />

town of Ruse, on an upland next to the riverbank<br />

of the <strong>Danube</strong>. During the past years the site<br />

was revitalized and now it is among the most<br />

attended museum exhibitions. From Ruse you can<br />

go to Tutrakan which originated as a settlement<br />

with the rank of vikus (village) called Transmariska<br />

during the Roman empire. The fortress was an<br />

important station on the military road connecting<br />

Belgrade (Singidunum) and the <strong>Danube</strong> Delta.<br />

The last point of your visit can be the Durostorum<br />

fortress in Silistra.<br />

DANUBE DELTA<br />

NATURE’S PARADISE<br />

Do you remember the feeling of curiosity and joy you<br />

had, when you visited a place for the first time? Or how<br />

do you feel when you visit a unique place that rebuilds a<br />

feeling you had while reading a mysterious story in your<br />

childhood?<br />

Exploring the <strong>Danube</strong> Delta is a trip full of adventure, whose<br />

highlight is the point where the <strong>Danube</strong> and the Black<br />

Sea merge. Reaching the beautiful <strong>Danube</strong> Delta is like a<br />

reward for all tourists that are travelling along the mighty<br />

river. While watching the birds and admiring the natural<br />

and unique sights, the <strong>Danube</strong> Delta makes you think that<br />

nature knows better. The <strong>Danube</strong> Delta is an UNESCO natural<br />

world heritage site. It combines elements of modernity,<br />

views of the wild channels, the locals and ancient tradition.<br />

The birds that live here, the flora, the channels, shallow bays<br />

and hundreds of formed lakes with extensive marshes and<br />

reed-bed, remind you of the song “Heaven is a place on<br />

earth”.<br />
