View of Melk Abbey from the Danube cycle path

Highlight • Viewpoint

It is a wonderful impression that you get when you drive along the Danube valley and first glimpses of the Benedictine monastery Melk are free. Since the monastery complex is on a mountain, it is wonderful to see.

View of the Melk dam and power plant

Highlight • Monument

Sometimes it's good to look back, because the view of the barrage is fantastic. The Melk power station is a run-of-river power station on the Danube in the immediate vicinity of the famous Melk Abbey. In order to have as little impact on the landscape as possible, the electricity generated is not transported via overhead lines, but via underground cables in the dyke on the right bank to the high-voltage grid.

View of Melk Abbey from Sankt Leopold Bridge

Highlight • Viewpoint

The view of Melk Abbey is an impressive experience that highlights both the historical and architectural significance of this baroque jewel. Melk Abbey, a Benedictine monastery, towers majestically above the Danube and is a landmark of the Wachau region.
