Historic Center of Krems an der Donau

Highlight • Historical Site

A truly beautiful, old town with much to discover, well worth a visit in addition to the region's hiking trails.

The oldest settlements in the Krems-Stein area were not permanently inhabited. Even in the early Middle Ages, armed conflicts repeatedly drove the settlers away. Recent discoveries of Slavic settlements, particularly in Krems and Stein, suggest a continuous Slavic presence since the 7th century. The Battle of Lechfeld in 955 stabilized the situation, and colonization commissioned by Bavarian and Salzburg monasteries and abbeys intensified. It is certain that from the 10th century onward, merchant and administrative centers were rapidly and continuously established around the Hoher Markt (High Market) in Krems and the church settlement on the Frauenberg (Women's Hill) in Stein. The oldest document mentioning the name Krems (orientalis urbs quae dicitur Cremisa) dates from 995. South of the Danube, the present-day district of Hollenburg is already mentioned in a deed of gift from the year 860.

Old Town of Krems on the Danube

Highlight • Historical Site

A worthwhile destination for a tour or a detour off the main route. A pretty, tranquil town with several sights. You can easily linger here for a while; there's plenty to discover. It's worth it!

The historic old town – part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site along with the neighboring town of Stein – boasts medieval alleys, baroque buildings, and landmarks such as the Steiner Tor (Stein Gate) and Gozzoburg Castle. Culturally, the Krems Art Mile shapes the cityscape with institutions such as the Kunsthalle (Art Gallery), the Caricature Museum, and the Lower Austrian State Gallery. Economically, Krems is closely linked to winemaking: Numerous wineries, especially known for Grüner Veltliner and Riesling, are located around the city.

Thanks to its location on the Danube Cycle Path, Krems is also a popular destination for cyclists. A good network of cycle paths makes the city an ideal starting point for tours into the Wachau region and the surrounding Lower Austrian countryside.

Gobelsburg Castle

Highlight • Castle

Gobelsburg Castle is not only an enchanting eye-catcher from the outside, but also has a lot to offer on the inside: huge wine barrels lie dormant in the cellar of this winery. It is also rented out as an event location.

Engabrunner Observation Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

Observation tower on the Haide Engabrunn
The observation tower on the Haide in Engabrunn, built in 2004, is located at around 290 m and is around 10 m high. In clear weather you can enjoy the view of Schneeberg, Rax and Ötscher. From here you can also see five wine-growing regions in Lower Austria: Kamptal, Donauland, Traisental, Wachau and Kremstal. Grafenegg Castle is also clearly visible.
