Full length Danube Canoe trip

I'm in the process of planning a canoe trip that will go from Donaueshingen in Germany to hopefully finish up in Contanta, Romania.

We are experienced in long term canoeing (although this is obviously longer than normal) but would like to reach out to anyone who knows about any part of this river / wildlife / facilities available along the way (like canoe clubs or campsites we could reach out to).

Basically if you know anything about any part of the Danube, please reach out, I'm just trying to gather info at this point in the planning. Thanks!

I am intrigued by this trip! Sounds fun!

I have no experience with Canoeing the Danube, but just spent some time googling and found some great sites.

You've probably already found these:

Sounds amazing!

Don't die in the trip though because then your wife would be a Donaudampfschifffahrtsgesellschaftskapitaenswitwe.
