In Europe, the Danube River is second only to the extent of the Volga.The first information about it are found in the works of Herodotus.The ancient Greek historian in the second book of his work "History" indicates that Istres originates in the country of the Celts and crosses the middle of Europe.He wrote the scientist and about where and how it flows from the tributaries of the Danube.Inhabited at the beginning of the first millennium BCon the banks of the Celts, gave it its present name.We also know that the first bridge that was built of stone, slung over the Danube Emperor Trajan in 105 year.
In the mountains of the Black Forest, at the confluence of two mountain streams - Brigham and Breg - originated this majestic river.Then she goes underground and reappears on the surface of 12 kilometers.The direction of the flow fairly tortuous, several times it changes dramatically.Emerging from the mountainous region, flows through Vienna basin, and then almost 600 kilometers its waters of the Pannonian Plain.Cutting through the Southern Carpathians, the Danube through the Iron Gates gorge on the Lower Danube Plain breaks.It flows into the Black Sea.Throughout the mainstream flows into very many large and small rivers and the question of how many tributaries of the Danube and from which they have long been interested in people.Only in our time, we can say with certainty about this.
inflows and delta
Marshland River delta stretches in the meridian direction for 65 kilometers and nearly 75 km from west to east.Here, the main channel is divided into numerous branches.The huge delta, formed by them, covered with smooth.
Ancient Istres has many arms extending sometimes far from the mainstream.Among them Moshonsky on the right bank of the Danube and Small on the left.And how many have tributaries of the Danube, is seen on the map of the river basin.Shape asymmetric basin - the left-bank part of the much larger.Hydrographic basin form a grid of about 120 tributaries.Unevenly distributed tributaries, in the foothills of the Alps and the Carpathians are many of them, and on the Great Hungarian Plain, they are almost absent.
tributary of the Danube, originating in the mountains, first have a mountain character and going to the lowland plains are typical and navigable rivers.The largest of these are the Isar, the Morava, the Tisza, the Inn and Enns.The river is considered to be international, it and its tributaries flow through the territory of ten European countries, and pool covers 18 states.For example, the right tributary of the Inn, with a length of 2225 km, flows through three countries.A left tributary of the Danube - Tisza crosses the land of the five states.
value rivers for Danube countries
riverbed in some areas it is the border between the Danube countries.The life of these countries, it is of great importance.Within the Romanian channel length is 1075 km.On the banks of the river are dozens of major cities, including the capital should be divided into four - Vienna, Belgrade, Budapest and Bratislava.
How many tributaries of the Danube are navigable from, depending on time of year and the work of the channel that allowed the river to enter the trans-European waterway stretching from the North Sea to the Black Sea.The volume of goods carried on this way for a long time more than 100 million tons.In warm winters navigable year-round.
