Krems

At the exit of the Wachau, one of the most beautiful sections of the Danube valley, lies the charming twin city of Krems-Stein.

Krems on the Danube is worth a visit at any time of year! Immerse yourself in the country at the Nibelungenstrom: The Wachau – UNESCO World Heritage Site and Natural Heritage!

Not many cities in Austria have such a variety of cultural, historical, and culinary offerings as the twin city of Krems-Stein.
Situated at the easternmost starting point of the Wachau, the more than 1,000-year-old town will impress you with (among other things) its historic buildings in the old town – which, by the way, were declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2000.

Enjoy the different faces of the city as you walk through the old town, surrounded by stores, restaurants and coffee houses, and enjoy the vibrant life.
By making the “Krems Art Mile” a reality, Krems has once again demonstrated its cultural importance.
An extensive range of sports with numerous major events (best evidenced by the Wachau Marathon, with more than 10,000 participants each year) rounds off the offer. You can find more information at: www.krems.at

Danube (Lower Austria)

From its source in the Black Forest to its mouth at the Black Sea, the Danube is the second largest river in Europe, covering 2,888 kilometers. The proud stream has enchanted people since time immemorial. Its banks contain the oldest traces of human settlement, as evidenced by the famous “Venus of Willendorf,” which dates from around 30,000 BC: the oldest sculpture in the world, it can now be admired in Vienna.

The Danube is a royal, truly European river. On its way from west to east, it flows through ten countries and, as Europe’s lifeline, connects highly diverse peoples, religions, and cultures into a harmonious whole. Its route is lined with witnesses to a varied history: fortified castles, mighty monasteries, and magnificent palaces. Its diverse landscapes – sometimes lovely, sometimes almost mystical – are shrouded in legend.

Although one encounters the great past everywhere along the Danube, it is also a modern river. Almost entirely navigable – on 2,415 kilometers of river – it connects the North Sea with the Black Sea via the Main-Danube Canal. Significant as one of the most important trade routes, part of Corridor VII through Europe (Tina Office), the Danube is becoming increasingly popular for passenger navigation – Danube cruises are a wonderful experience. More than 70 cabin ships regularly cruise between Passau and Budapest, but also as far as the Danube Delta.

Whether traveling along the Danube or aboard a ship, no one can resist the fascination of the “Queen of Rivers,” the harmony between landscape and river.

And cycling along the Danube cycle path and seeing the beautiful landscape of the Wachau is a special experience.

Göttweig Abbey

The Benedictine Abbey of Göttweig is situated 449 m above the world-famous Danube valley at the eastern exit of the Wachau, with which it was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2000.

The “Austrian Montecassino” was founded in 1083 and handed over to the Benedictines in 1094. The Baroque monastery complex was built in 1720-40, following the plans of architect Johann Lucas von Hildebrandt, after a devastating fire destroyed the old monastery in 1718. The special sights are the museum in the imperial wing, the imperial stairs with Paul Troger’s ceiling fresco from 1739, the imperial and royal chambers, as well as the monastery church with crypt and the partially preserved old cloister.

On the way from the monastery entrance at the gate reception into the monastery courtyard, the visitor is accompanied by the permanent exhibition “Monastic Life,” which informs them about the life and work of the monks of Göttweig. For further information please visit www.stiftgoettweig.at.
