The Croatians have taken an altogether different and not very helpful approach to waymarking. EV6 Ruta Dunav signs appear at regular intervals, but not where you most need them. Most signs are in the middle of long straight stretches of road, very few of them are at junctions.

By contrast, in Serbia waymarking is almost perfect. EV6 Dunavska ruta finger posts appear at every junction and indicate three different kinds of route. Those with a red band show the definitive route, those with a green band an alternative asphalt route avoiding difficult or unsurfaced tracks and those with a purple band indicate side excursions to places of interest. Each sign carries a number and these numbers appear on the definitive maps published by Huber Kartographie (see below). Even in the busy streets of Belgrade city centre this system is flawless. Each of these finger posts carries a short aphorism in English, often a quote from a leading writer or philosopher.

In Romania there is no waymarking. However as most of the cycleway follows one long country route, the Danube road, this is not much of a problem. Regular well maintained kilometre stones mark every road and can be useful confirming that you are on the right route.
