This
tour is the easiest section
of our other tour - From Danube to Tatra
mountains. It follows the river valley of the
Danube as it flows east. Although this tour
is in Slovakia you will quickly realize that
Hungary has more
influence on this region
than just being on the southern bank of the
Danube. For many Slovak towns along the
winding Danube river, Hungarian is the
language of choice with a large ethnic
Hungarian population. Start in the
capital
city of Bratislava, the site
of a Neolithic
settlement 5000 years
ago. Traveling along
the Danube river as it meanders through
the landscape you will come
across many
confluences with other rivers and quite a few
spa towns have been
established due to the
mineral rich waters in the area.This
is a good area for bird watching
as you follow the river
bank. The Gabcikovo waterworks is an
interesting point along the
way. Finish in Sturovo
with the opportunity to visit Esztergom with its immense cathedral
across the
river.
