Water Transportation

The Danube River is significant for over-water passenger and freight transportation.  The Danube is the most important river transportation artery - it connects Bratislava, Vienna and Budapest, or Slovakia with Austria and Hungary.  Thanks to the Danube-Rhine-Mohan canal , it connects the North Sea with the Black Sea.
