Since ancient times, the Danube has been a traditional trade route in Europe. Today, 2,415 km (1,501 mi) of its total length are navigable.
River levels are low ... I get it.
Just don't make it sound like the whole 1,500 mile river is bone dry.
The European River cruising season runs from March through December, though the best time to take a river cruise in Europe is during the late spring (April-May) or early fall (September-October).
So August is usually drier than the Spring or the Fall in Europe?
Who knew!
The Danube is actually a connection of skinny lakes controlled by locks. It’s not a continuous river at all. Each section between locks exists under different conditions. All need more rain to fill up the total river.
