• Tributaries: Some major tributaries include the Inn, Drava, Sava, Tisza, and Prut rivers.
• Economic Importance: The Danube is a key trade and transport route, with the Danube River Basin supporting agriculture, fishing, and hydroelectric power.
• Danube Delta: A UNESCO World Heritage site, home to diverse wildlife, including over 300 bird species and rare fish.
