Wachau Cultural Landscape: Absolute Essentials

The Wachau Cultural Landscape, a UNESCO World Heritage site, follows the Danube River through Lower Austria between the towns of Melk and Krems. This region is characterized by medieval fortifications like Aggstein and Hinterhaus, alongside high-Baroque landmarks such as the Benedictine Melk Abbey. The landscape features steep, terraced vineyards producing world-class Riesling and Grüner Veltliner wines. The selection includes historic monasteries, contemporary art galleries in Krems, and vantage points that overlook the river's distinctive bends and architectural heritage.
