Belgrade is the capital and largest city of Serbia. It is located at the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers and the crossroads of the Pannonian Plain and the Balkan Peninsula. Nearly 1.7 million people live within the administrative limits of the City of Belgrade, a quarter of the total population of Serbia.
As you can see the river & its banks were a hive of activity.
The Széchenyi Chain Bridge across the Danube River is one of the most memorable sights of the Budapest skyline. In the background here is the St Stephen's Basilica.

Budapest, Hungary’s capital, is bisected by the River Danube, and the 19th-century Chain Bridge connects its hilly Buda district with flat Pest. A funicular runs up Castle Hill to Buda’s Old Town, where the Budapest History Museum traces life from Roman times onwards. Trinity Square is home to 13th-century Matthias Church and the turrets of the Fishermen’s Bastion, which offer sweeping views.
This panoramic was composed from eight photos in Adobe Lightroom.

Schönbühel Castle stands on the edge of a high, and uneven, cliff in the Austrian valley of Wachau. Known as the "keeper of the Wachau”, the castle is more than 1000 years old.
Seen in the Wachau Valley on the Danube River from the deck of Avalon Waterways Impression.
The oldest records in the historical documents that mention Schönbühel, date from 1135. Originally the castle Schönbühel was erected as property of the Bishop of Passau. The earliest parts of the palace, kept up to date, date back 12 centuries, but in the following centuries it has been repeatedly restored and reconstructed. In 1419 the castle was bought by the Lords of Starhemberg,
Today, near the main entrance of Schönbühel, you can see the ruins of a church built in the 11th century, which operated until 1667. The castle was abandoned about 1819 and only the towers, main entrance and the church are well preserved.. As it stands, the Schönbühel Castle seen today, was built around 1821, when the newer parts of the complex were added.
Today the Schönbühel Castle is one of the obligatory tourist attractions by boat in the Melk area. It is located only 5 km northeast of Melk.
The Wachau Valley is a UNESCO Cultural Landscape area.
The Wachau is a stretch of the Danube Valley between Melk and Krems, a landscape of high visual quality. It preserves in an intact and visible form many traces - in terms of architecture, (monasteries, castles, ruins), urban design, (towns and villages), and agricultural use, principally for the cultivation of vines - of its evolution since prehistoric times.

Memorial created to honor the Jews who were killed in Budapest during World War II. They were ordered to take off their shoes, and were shot at the edge of the water so that their bodies fell into the river and were carried away.

Built according to the design of architect János Feketeházy, the bridge opened in celebration of the 1000th birthday of Hungary in 1896. Structurally, the bridge is a cantilever bridge with an Art Nouveau style truss – although on first glance, it looks like a chain bridge. After its destruction during the Second World War, the bridge was the first in the city to be rebuilt and was reopened in 1946 according to the original design.
Construction on the Hotel Saint Gellért started in 1912. The hotel was named for Saint Gellért (St. Gerard Sagredo) the first bishop of Hungary in the 11th Century. The 176-room hotel was designed by Hungarian architects Ármin Hegedűs, Artúr Sebestyén and Izidor Sterk. Work on the hotel slowed due to World War I, and it did not open until September 1918, just as the war was ending and the Austro-Hungarian Empire was descending into chaos. The hotel was commandeered for the national government's use in 1919, after the downfall of Hungarian Soviet Republic. Once Hungary was established as an independent country, the hotel in its early years were so successful that it was expanded in 1927 with 60 more rooms and a wave pool. Noted Hungarian restaurateur Károly Gundel took over management of the hotel's restaurants in 1927 as well. In 1934, the hotel added a jacuzzi pool.
The hotel was severely damaged in World War II. Post-war Communist authorities removed the "St." from the hotel's name and it became the Hotel Gellért. Restoration of the Gellért Hill wing began in 1946, while work on the main Danube River wing began in 1957. Restoration work was completed in 1962. The hotel was again renovated in 1973. Danubius Hotels assumed management of the hotel in 1981. After the company was privatized in 1992, it purchased the hotel outright in June 1996. The adjoining spa is owned and operated by the City of Budapest.
Hotel Gellért is famous for its thermal baths. The Gellért Spa which is connected to the hotel, is a very special attraction with its indoor and outdoor swimming pools, wave bath, sunbathing terrace and thermal spa. The jacuzzi, with its glass roof, and the wave bath are favorites among guests. Even though Gellért Spa is independently owned, guests of the hotel can use the facilities for a discount.
Remizidae, bird family (order Passeriformes) that contains the penduline tits and, usually, the verdin. Some authorities classify the roughly 12 species in this group as a subfamily of the titmouse family, Paridae. Remizids are much like long-tailed tits (Aegithalidae) but have shorter tails and thinner bills and are usually found near water.
The penduline tit (Remiz pendulinus) is irregularly distributed in river scrub and marshes across Eurasia. An 11-cm- (4.5-inch-) long brownish bird with a black mask on its whitish head, it is named for its two-chambered nest (built by the male), which consists of a finely felted bag of plant down or wool, suspended from the tip of a branch (sometimes in reeds).

Budapest’s shortest bridge, this crossing connects the two sides of the city between two universities: Corvinus University of Budapest and the Budapest University of Technology and Economics. Built according to the design of architect János Feketeházy, the bridge opened in celebration of the 1000th birthday of Hungary in 1896. Structurally, the bridge is a cantilever bridge with an Art Nouveau style truss – although on first glance, it looks like a chain bridge.
After its destruction during the Second World War, the bridge was the first in the city to be rebuilt and was reopened in 1946 according to the original design. Currently, the bridge allows road traffic to cross and is a busy thoroughfare between Buda and Pest. However thanks to renovation works during the summer of 2016, the bridge was pedestrianised for two months, allowing the bridge to be enjoyed for yoga sessions, picnics and more – sparking calls for it to remain this way.
