The sound of ship horns will reverberate across the Danube Basin at 14:00 on Danube Day, as Danube workers pay a very special tribute to their river - a river that provides them with food, water, power, recreation and, crucially, their livelihoods. The annual Greet the Danube horn blast, organised by the Global Water Partnership (GWP), will see ships along the Danube from Germany to Ukraine simultaneously sound their horns in a united salute to the rivers.

Listen out for the special Danube Day call at 14:00 on 29^th June: ships will sound their horns one long blast-one short blast repeated three times.
