Bøger om Danube river & tributaries

The Danube bicycle route between Passau and Vienna ranks as Europe's best-known and most-loved cycling route - and for good reason. No other section of the river offers as diverse a range of landscapes and cultural landmarks or as many historical sites. Tranquil valleys, fertile plains, and steep vineyards line the banks of one of Europe's great rivers, where pretty farms and glorious abbeys stand side-by-side. The loop of the Danube at Schlögen, the abbey at Melk, and the romantic Wachau wine-producing region are just some of the highlights along the 330 kilometer route.

This volume presents the proceedings of the 5th International Conference on the Roman Danubian Provinces, held at the University "Alexandru Ioan Cuza" in Iäi (Romania) from 5 to 9 November 2019. They mainly deal with the interaction between the local population and the Roman authorities in the Danubian provinces. The approaches come from different fields: Epigraphy, Archaeology, Papyrology, Linguistics, Literary Criticism. New epigraphic and papyrological sources are published and new archaeological finds are presented.The conference was organised in memory of Angela Donato, who, as a permanent staff member and former secretary of the Association Internationale d'Épigraphie Grecque et Latine (AIEGL), had substantially been involved in the organisation of the scientific events. The proceedings are dedicated to her and two other great scholars who had devoted most of their work to the Danubian provinces: Tadeusz Sarnowski and Octavian Bounegru.

In ancient times the Danube bordered the Roman Empire, later the river was the lifeline of the Austro-Hungarian Empire until the Iron Curtain separated countries and ended the economic and cultural connection of the countries till 1989. The changeful history of the countries at the Danube cycle route between Vienna and Bratislava cannot only be seen in cities like Bratislava, Györ or Esztergom, but also right next to the route at the roman excavations at Petronell-Carnuntum. The cycling tourist can look forward to excellent cycling paths on the dykes that line the Danube which leads him through its floodplains. Not less scenic is the Danube's Bend near Visegrád where the river turns south and is headed to Hungarian capital city, Budapest.
