The Danube flows through much of Central and Southeastern Europe, from the Black Forest into the Black Sea.

Originating in Germany, the Danube flows southeast passing through or bordering Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, Romania, Bulgaria, Moldova and Ukraine before draining into the Black Sea.
