    Tips

    Above the source of the Danube is - quite surprisingly :-) - the watershed between the Danube and the Rhine. And with a little luck you can see all the way to the Alps, where the watershed between the Rhine and the Mediterranean can still be seen.

            ... the "Rhine-Danube watershed" "cuts through" southern Germany
            - Region between the two main water lines of Europe, the Rhine and the Danube
            - nearby is also the "Donauquelle - Bregquelle", the "Güterfelsen" ...
            - can be reached via the red diamond or the "Westweg"

                Here is the source of the Danube. The "Danube Source". Very popular destination.
