From the Black Sea to the Blue Danube — Self-Launched Overland Version

A self-launched overland follow-the-Danube route that mirrors CroisiEurope's 12-day Oltenita-to-Vienna river cruise using trains, buses and local ferries instead of a cruise ship. Travel from the Black Sea coast and Bucharest through the Bulgarian bank (Ruse, the Iron Gates), into Serbia (Belgrade, Novi Sad), on to Hungary (Mohacs, Budapest), Slovakia (Bratislava) and finally Austria (Vienna). You book each leg yourself, stay in hostels and budget guesthouses, and pick up the same landmarks — Constanta, the Danube-Black Sea Canal, Bucharest's Parliament, the Iron Gates gorge, Gellert Baths, Schoenbrunn Palace — as cheap self-bookable day trips and walking tours. Costs are approximate budget-backpacker estimates in GBP per person, excluding flights.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, Hungary, Slovakia & Austria yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Learn a completely impractical skill from a local — fire spinning, competitive coconut opening, whatever — and become weirdly good at it."
