There are different opinions about the beginning of the Danube. After the confluence of the two source rivers Brigach and Breg, the body of water is called the Danube. But there is also a 'Danube spring' in Donaueschingen.

Here is the beginning of the Danube by name. 2,811 kilometers to the Black Sea. The hydrological source of the Breg near Furtwangen is considered to be the actual source. So there are another 46 kilometers.
