.: Danube :.

The Danube (Dunaj, in Slovak) is a river in Central Europe, the European Union's longest and the continent's second longest (after the Volga). Classified as an international waterway, it originates in the town of Donaueschingen (the Black Forest of Germany) at the confluence of the rivers Brigach and Breg. The Danube then flows southeast for 2,872 km (1,785 mi), passing through four Central European capitals before emptying into the Black Sea via the Danube Delta in Romania and Ukraine.

Once a long-standing frontier of the Roman Empire, the river passes through or touches the borders of ten countries: Romania (29.0% of basin area), Hungary (11.6%), Serbia (10.2%), Austria (10.0%), Germany (7.0%), Bulgaria (5.9%), Slovakia (5.9%), Croatia (4.4%), Ukraine (3.8%), and Moldova (1.6%). Its drainage basin extends into nine more. From Danube source to its outlet into the Black Sea, river Váh is its 10th main tributary at 1,718. kilometer of the river.


.: Váh :.

The Váh is the longest river in Slovakia and the left tributary of the Danube river. Váh is 406 km long, including its Cierny Váh branch. Its two sources, the Biely Váh (White Váh) and the Cierny Váh (Black Váh), are located in the High Tatras and Low Tatra mountains, respectively, and it flows over northern and western Slovakia and finally feeds into the Danube near Komárno (elevation 106.5m ASL).
