At the Danube

Day of Kamilla in Hungary. This name refers to a flower with healing power.
Duna

In your comments you refer to the blue Duna. I really like this river. It’s the biggest river in our country coming from Germany from the Black Forest. I’ve been there a couple of years ago and I saw a signboard showing to the river Duna. I went there and it was so small that I could step over it with my long legs.:) It was strange to see this river that I knew so well being ‘a baby’:) After Germany, the river crosses Austria. In Vienna, it is still a not too wide river and I guess the first city where it appears as a real river is Pozsony (Bratislava) in Slovakia. Leaving Pozsony the river runs to the east providing the borderline between Hungary and Slovakia. Then suddenly, at close to Visegrád it turns to the south and reaches Budapest dividing the city to two parts…Pest and Buda. It then leaves the country in the south as a really wide, huge river to Serbia and then to Romania and Bulgaria when it finally gets home….to the Black Sea. An amazing journey from the Black Forest to the Black Sea.
