Things To Do
The Danube valley, UNESCO World Heritage Site, features village topped rolling hills, fortress ruins and stone stacked vineyards. Follow one of the 14 Wachau World Heritage Trail paths on foot or set out on stage five of the Danube Cycle Path that runs parallel, connecting the historical towns of Krems and Melk, with Dürnstein and Spitz in between. The summer months are perfect for sampling the jams, juices and sweet treats from the apricot (Marille) harvest.
The history of Austrian wine making stretches back some 2,000 years, with award-winning Grüner Veltliner, Riesling and Gelber Muskateller white wines and Zweigelt and Blaufränkisch reds being some of the most known varieties. Sample the best wine in the Vienna vineyards of the Wachau Valley in Lower Austria.
