The Norse goddess Lofn is so gracious that the mightiest of gods melts to her will. Even Odin himself, the chief god of Norse mythology, gives Lofn permission to arrange marriages. Whether the love that impassions men and women is right or wrong or approved by others does not concern her. Rather, she longs to nurture adoration at its purest, even if it means arranging marriages that are taboo.

About Budapest
This enchanting and exotic capital of Hungary straddles the banks of the Danube and is divided into two distinct parts, traditional Buda and more modern Pest. Budapest is aptly called "Paris of the East," for its beautiful evening illumination and reflected lights in the Danube's waters.
Budapest Attractions
The old city features amazing examples of architecture such as Buda Castle, the baroque Parliament building, Chain Bridge and Matthias church, where the coronation ceremonies of Hungarian Kings were held. Gellert Hill, high above the city, offers not-to-be missed views.
Budapest Activities
Everyone can find their choice of sports in Budapest. The most popular place in Budapest for sports is the Margaret Island - even the Prime Minister of Hungary is often seen jogging on some early mornings with his entourage.
Hungarians have always been avid sports people: during the history of the summer Olympics, Hungarians have brought home 460 medals, of which 158 are gold. The top events in which Hungarians have excelled are fencing, swimming, canoeing, wrestling and track & field sports.
Their affinity to water sports is unmistakably due to the presence of the Lake Balaton and the Danube, which have provided ample practice grounds since the beginning of times.
Beside classic sports, recreational modern sports such as bowling, pool billiard, darts, go-carting, wakeboarding and squash are very popular in Budapest, and extreme sports are also gaining ground.

The Western Carpathians are the lowest of the three ranges and are fragmented by many deep structural depressions. They have historically functioned as "gates," which allow easy passage but can be readily defended. The most famous of these is the Iron Gate on the Danube.
Iron Gate Attractions
A spectacular narrow gorge between the Carpathian and Balkan Mountains, the Iron Gate is one of Europe's most dramatic natural wonders. In 1972, a hydroelectric dam was completed aiding in river navigation.
Vidin is situated in the northwestern-most corner of Bulgaria, at the expansive elbow of the Danube, the grand river which runs through nearly all Western Europe to empty its waters into the Black Sea. The town takes pride in its history, development and traditions. Today Vidin continues to be the venue of extremely beneficial circumstances for foreign trade thanks to its geographical position, natural endowments, economy, history and culture. The town occupies a major place in the national transport system of Bulgaria, which proved decisive in the establishment of the Free Trade Zone. The town is the meeting place of all types of transport - river-going, rail, automobile and air transport. The town also has a direct ferryboat service to and from Romania handling rail cargo, trucks, buses and motorcars, as well as the passage of tourists and a variety of commodities.
Vidin Attractions
One of Bulgaria's oldest riverside towns, Vidin houses the only medieval Bulgarian castle that is entirely preserved.

Giurgiu is the capital city of Giurgiu County, Romania in the region once called Vlasca. It is situated amid mud-flats and marshes on the left bank of the Danube. Three small islands face the city, and a larger one shelters its port, Smarda. The rich corn-lands on North are traversed by a railway to Bucharest, the first line opened in Romania, which was built in 1869 and afterwards extended to Smarda.
Bucharest is Romania's capital, with a population of over 2.3 million. It is rich in culture and history. Founded more than 500 years ago, it is a natural starting point for visits to the country. During the 1930's its tree-lined boulevards and fin de siecle architecture earned it the nickname the "Little Paris." There is even an Arc de Triomphe on the handsome Soseaua Kiseleff, itself longer than the Champs Elysees and alive with blossom in the spring. Despite the massive reconstructions of the 1980s, Bucharest remains a Garden City, leafy and pleasant, with pavement cafes open in the warm summer, and boating on its lakes and rivers.
