Beautiful view from the weir onto the castle and the proverbial blue Danube. Very good cycle paths on both sides, but beware, no protection against sun and wind over the entire route

Here you can switch to the other side of the Danube and continue on the other side

Imposing, sturdy building directly on the riverbank. Unusual at first glance, very interesting and worth seeing.

The cycle path near Rossatz is very idyllic, but in summer there is heavy bicycle traffic. Racing is definitely not the order of the day here, but rather rolling along leisurely and enjoying the ride!

Dürnstein is a small old town with many tourists.

Göttweig Abbey is often called the "Austrian Montecassino" - and as soon as you stand in front of it, you understand why. It sits majestically on a 422-meter-high hill on the eastern edge of the Wachau, directly opposite Krems and Mautern. The abbey, as we see it today, is the result of a gigantic reconstruction after a devastating fire in 1718. The famous architect Johann Lucas von Hildebrandt (who also designed the Belvedere Palace in Vienna) planned a huge, palace-like complex. Due to a lack of funds, however, only about two-thirds of the original plan was completed - which does not make the complex any less impressive.

Especially in autumn, the abundance of juicy apples makes our hearts sing – and in the next town, they're even sold at self-service shops and are definitely worth enjoying! 🍎🍏
