'Ruins of Aggstein castle.'
In the Aggstein stronghold lived robber baron Scheck. If you didn't pay toll for passing the Danube at the foot of his eyrie, you had the choice between the eight meters deep Hungerloch (hunger pit) or a jump from his Rosengärtlein, a nicely smelling balcony with one of the most beautiful views of the Wachau. Today you can enjoy this romantic panorama with a little less stress.
