Summary:
The Danube brings together the history of Europe.
Humankind used the Danube from the very beginning as a promising place to live
and to make business. First settlements date back to 40.000 BC (Schwäbische
Alb), the Stone age (Lepinski Vir 5.000 BC) and the Vucedol culture (3.000 BC).
Between 2nd and 4th century a.d., the Danube was the political and
administrative center of the Roman Empire. Until the introduction of the
railways, the Danube provided the necessary transportation possibilities in
Central and South-East Europe, making it one of the important trading routes.
Recognizing the vast cultural and natural heritage of
the Danube region, the project aims at supporting sustainable tourism in the
Danube region by implementing innovative promotion concepts (new narratives)
and sustainable mobility management tools.
The project is aiming at improved management
(strategies and tools) for sustainable use of the touristic potential of
cultural and natural heritage resulting
in more European citizens experiencing European cultural and natural heritage.
