’Crooked pillars-2.’
The base of this vertical sandstone wall in the Paria Canyon has been undercut during floods by swirling water and hard stones transported from upstream. The resulting overhanging cliffs seem to lean on crooked pillars that look like the work of crazy sculptors. The canyon of the Paria (a tributary of the Colorado) can be found east of Kanab and south of route 89.

'Cycling the Donauradweg.'
Europe's favourite cycling route, the Donauradweg, mostly follows former towpaths. In the old days about sixty heavy horses were needed to tow one boat upstream. The cobbled paths, neglected since the time of the steamboats, were asphalted in the eighties and built the frame of the cycling route from Passau to Budapest ever since.

'National Park Donau-Auen.'
Just outside the eastern gates of Vienna the quiet of nature begins. National Park Donau-Auen (Floodplains of the Danube) gives the river the chance to relax after it has left it's main water source, the Alps, behind. Old river arms revive when the water level rises, like in this picture, to become clear lakes when the level falls. Actually the Danube breathes through a net of side arms, covered in riparian forest. Life is abundand, even turtles live here in the wild.

'Stift Engelszell at the Danube.'
At Austria's only Trappist monastery the monks don't brew beer but stronger stuff, like a nice, very creamy advocaat. After a visit to the church you indeed need a nip; quite shocking, these skeletons of saints in their gilded glass coffins.

'Dürnstein with its abbey church.'
The Wachau is seen by many as the most beautiful part of the Danube. Indeed, it's hard to find a more romantic landscape between source and Black Sea. It's on the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. In the eastern part, from Spitz to Krems, wine rules. Dürnstein is called the Perl of the Wachau. Its combination of Donaubarok (abbey and church), Middle Ages (houses and stronghold) and vineyards indeed are worth a visit.

’Crooked pillars-2.’
The base of this vertical sandstone wall in the Paria Canyon has been undercut during floods by swirling water and hard stones transported from upstream. The resulting overhanging cliffs seem to lean on crooked pillars that look like the work of crazy sculptors. The canyon of the Paria (a tributary of the Colorado) can be found east of Kanab and south of route 89. Photo Paul Smit.
