Arguing that the Danube deserves the popularity the Rhine once enjoyed with British tourists, Jerrold follows it from Donaueschingen in the Black Forest past Ratisbon and Passau, through the Austrian Wachau to Vienna, and on through Hungary and the Balkans. History and legend ride along, from the Nibelungs and King Etzel to the Turkish wars.
