    Hiking

    Brigach and Breg, bring the Danube to its destination.
    This is where Europe's second largest river begins its 2779-kilometer journey. The river will flow through or along 10 countries into the Black Sea. But there won't be much of the water from the Brigach and Breg left.
    18 kilometers after the Danube jump, the still small stream will partially seep away near Immendingen and resurface at the Achtopf and flow via Lake Constance and the Rhine to the North Sea. The Danube therefore flows into 2 seas.
