Downstream & upstream.
Of course you travel the Danube - by boat. Shipping on the Danube existed long before our era.
For the Romans, the Danube was a border river against the peoples to the north; in the Middle Ages, the Bavarian-Austrian Danube region was the center of east-west trade. Before the introduction of steamboats around the middle of the 19th century, ships and rafts were built exclusively from wood.
The Spitz Shipping Museum offers you a wide range of insights into the technology and history of historic Danube shipping. Ship, ahoy!
