'Vineyards around Spitz.'
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. If you have the chance, visit the region in autumn. Everything is gold and you can see the grape pickers at work.

'Stift Melk, the Power of Baroque.'
The monks themselves criticised the unchristian wallowing in architectural exubarance of their new monastery. But it had to be, to impress in face of Protestantism, that even in Melk had the upper hand in those days. Now, centuries later, the monastery is still a must: 300.000 tourists a year visit Austria's largest baroque structure.

'Schlögener Schlinge.'
After cycling, walking is the most popular activity along the Danube. For instance at the Donau-Höhen-Rundwanderweg (Danube Hills Path) between Passau and Linz. Favourite spot for a break is the viewpoint above the rivers's largest loop near Schlögen, nicely called Schlögener Schlinge.

'Dürnstein with its abbey church.'

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.

'Danube with a replica of a celtic defense wall.'
Before the Romans the Celts had taken positions along the Danube. On the Braunsberg, near the border between Austria and Slowakia, archeologists have found rests of a village with watchtower. The tower and part of the defense wall have been reconstructed. It's a favourite lookout for the inhabitants of Hainburg as well as Bratislava. Both can see their home town, in Austria the riparian forests of national park Donau-Auen can be seen as well.
