Keep Pace with the Danube
VIA DANUBIANA
Via Danubiana is a project initiated by the MaiMultVerde Association, dedicated to reconnecting people with the Danube and with nature. The route follows the river along its entire Romanian section, crossing meadows, forests, villages, and historic towns. The project aims to create a sustainable ecotourism network that stimulates the local economy while supporting the conservation of biodiversity and cultural heritage along the Danube.
Under the slogan “Via Danubiana – the route that turns you toward the water,” the project seeks, in the long term, to cover the entire course of the Danube in Romania—over 1,000 kilometers—and to offer a continuous route that can be explored on foot, by bicycle, or by kayak.
“Via Danubiana aims to connect Danube communities and support their development through the sustainable use of their natural and cultural assets. Through this route, we invite people to discover the ‘Romanian Riviera’ and offer locals the opportunity to showcase their hospitality, traditions, and entrepreneurial spirit.”
— Doru Mitrana, President of the MaiMultVerde Association

The roughly 100 kilometers of the mapped Via Danubiana section in Giurgiu County can be explored on foot or by bike, using the GPS track and the markers placed along the route. This path connects dykes, forests, villages, towns, and fields along the Danube into a single scenic trail.
Just one hour from Bucharest, the trail offers a wide range of leisure activities. Nature lovers will enjoy an impressive list of species, ideal for birdwatching and observing the specific fauna and flora of the Danube. Along the trail are several protected natural areas, home to over 300 plant species and a rich fauna that includes important species of invertebrates, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and mammals.
