Rivers like the Danube play a significant role in the water cycle. Not only do they provide excellent habitat for many of the Earth’s organisms, but they have been a source of food since pre-historic times.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Present<\/h3>\n

The Danube, which flows through 10 countries, is part of our capital city\u2019s identity. Many Budapesters cross the river at least twice every day, on their way to work or school and back. What is more, the Danube, one of Europe\u2019s greatest river systems, defines the capital city\u2019s landscape by dividing it into two parts. To express our deepest gratitude and appreciation towards the river, in partnership with the other 13 countries of the Danube Basin we jointly celebrate Danube Day on 29 June each year. Festivities are to take place throughout June and July. It\u2019s the celebration of healthier rivers, and the people and the wildlife that rely on them.<\/p>\n

Interesting facts<\/h3>\n

The Danube witnessed the siege of Esztergom in northern Hungary in 1594, where it also acts as a natural frontier separating the country from Slovakia. From ancient times it has been a significant transportation route, very important especially to the Romans. Matthias Hunyadi (1458-1490) was elected king on the ice of the river, while 1838 marked a rather tragic event in Budapest\u2019s history: the water level reached 9.3 meters, causing the greatest flood damage in the history of the city.<\/p>\n

Funzine\u2019s TOP 3 destinations<\/h3>\n

Other than attending some of the many Budapest events organized on 29 June, you can pay tribute to the river by visiting its beautiful nature-given gems like Gemenc, Central Europe\u2019s biggest floodplain woods. It is located in the southern part of Hungary, close to Baja and Szeksz\u00e1rd. Thanks to its rich fauna, it was placed under landscape protection in 1977; besides protected reptile and amphibian species, Gemenc provides breeding and feeding place for strictly protected bird species too.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Danube Bend, or as we call it Dunakanyar, is just as charming as the above mentioned destination. It covers the area between Pilismar\u00f3t and Visegr\u00e1d of which the latter is famous for the remains of King Matthias\u2019 Renaissance summer residence, the Citadel (Fellegv\u00e1r), and a monumental residential tower called Salamon Tower.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The bucket list wouldn\u2019t be complete without our beloved riverside town, Szentendre. It\u2019s just a stone\u2019s throw away from Budapest, easily approachable by suburban railway H5. You\u2019ll instantly love the centre\u2019s incomparably charming, village-like atmosphere, let alone the delicious l\u00e1ngos (deep fried flat bread) that you can munch on by the river.<\/p>\n
