Scientists say that she is around 10.000 years old and she shaped the landscape around Vienna.
The Danube creates a habitat for numberous plants, animals and humans...

She nowadays is a route of transport, a source of energy, leisure... for example the famous Donauinsel - a center of recreation - designed to protect Vienna from her floods...
Main river right hand side...
But her floods are a permanent threat to cities situated along the river!!!
We decided to discover a little bit of the nature around her on a sunny and warm day:
Crossing the fast flowing river on a small ferry boat with
Tily and Steini, accompaning us...
An old river mill...
A rest on the crest of the long dam, which protects the villages along the Danube
We could finally watch frogs, turtles,
fish,
learned about the life of the beaver,
crossed a dangerous river like Indiana Jones
...were incredibly brave to touch an nonpoisonous water snake,
and showed Tily the underwater world ...
An exciting and beautiful day ended too fast...
