Wachau

A wine growing area famously all over the world, begins just where the magnificent baroque Abbey Melk arises on the southern bank. It is also a pleasure garden, and one of the most beautiful river valleys. In 2000, the Wachau was declared part of the UNESCO World heritage.

This unique work of art, in its entirety, extends up to the city of Krems 40 km downstream.
