Due to the flooding in Bavaria this June, the planned action day at the Inn-Museum in Rosenheim had to be canceled. However, in Regensburg, there was a great event celebrating WORLD HERITAGE REVISITED on Danube Day.
Members and friends of the association donumenta e.V. and representatives of the city of Regensburg and Regensburg's Water Management office celebrated the event with other participants. The head of the water management office informed the participants of the importance and aims of the ICPDR, as well as its foundations and its relation to Danube Day. There were also three artists from Slovenia, Hungary, and Slovakia who created works of art about their time in Regensburg and presented them at this event.
