Season 1

Deep in the Black Forest in Germany, the Danube River begins. People from all countries visit the head of this legendary river and debate its source.

Along the river's bank, people's lives are greatly affected by the mighty Danube, whether it brings them prosperous times or hard times.

The Danube River flows among three islands in Hungary's capital city of Budapest offering sustenance in the form of traditional Hungarian ingredients.

At the widest point of the Danube, three miles, the hot weather makes the river perfect for swimming. We meet the man who keeps the mosquitoes at bay.
