Tour 5: Danube Valley
A full-day excursion, which will show you the beauty of the
Wachau. Through this romantic scenery full of
history and legends the Danube winds its way past charming old villages
and steep vineyards. The old castles tell us about the former importance
of this trade- and trafficway, one of them -
Dürnstein - especially famous, because here
King Richard Lionheart was imprisoned, while waiting for his
ransom to arrive from England, raised by his faithful
Minstrel Blondel. During a romantic boat-trip the history comes
alive. The heart of the Wachau is the old wine-merchants’ town
Krems. The highlight of this excursion will be
the visit of the Benedictine abbey of Melk, one of Austria´s most famous
Baroque buildings, which together with the Wachau area, won the award
for "Best Historic Destination of the World" in 2008.
Possibility for lunch at the Abbey Restaurant at Melk.
