Friday afternoon I got off the train in Donaueschingen and headed to the Donauquelle. This is the original source of the Danube. A small spring next to the Furstenberg palace, surrounded by a colonade with sculptures and tablets on the wall from all the countries the Danube goes through. I started from this point and headed to the Donaususammenfluss. This is the point where two small rivers come togther and the Danube really begins. From this point I headed downriver through rolling countryside until I came to the first village the river runs through. The village had a small hunting castle called schloss Entenberg. from here I went on to the next village which was a little smaller, but very nice looking. By this time it was late and I was starving, however there was no place open to eat. The only Gasthaus only sered drinks. They told me I could get something at the next town, so I went on, tired and hungry.
Your travels sound wonderful. I knew you'd meet some people to stay with here and there. I bet the villages are really great looking. Marbeth, I can't find you phone number to get the link to picassa - my email is bootsie99@aol.com if you want to email me your number. Or if you have my #, call me.
