The river Danube forms an important role in the formation of many Bulgarian cities as
settlements were formed many thousands of years ago because of the fish stock the river
provided, drinking water and the water that gives the surrounding land great irrigation for
farming.
The river also has cultural significance as it shaped the views of the people that have settled in
these towns and cities for thousands of years. Some of these towns and cities include Vidin,
Rousse and Silistra.
