Wachau

Wachau is Austria's captivating Danube Valley, a UNESCO-listed region. This picturesque region impresses with its medieval landscape with the impressive abbeys of Melk and Göttweig and the ruins of castles, including the famous Dürnstein, where Richard the Lionheart was imprisoned.

Steep vineyards produce excellent Riesling and Grüner Veltliner wines, which can be tasted in the traditional Heurigen taverns. In spring, the valley blooms with apricot trees, creating a fairy-tale setting.

Bicycle tours, boat cruises or hikes on the World Heritage trail are excellent ways to explore this unique place, combining natural beauty with a rich history.
