'Vineyards around Weißenkirchen.'
The Wachau is seen by many as the most beautiful part of the Danube and 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, like here on the famous Ried Achleiten slope, producing one of the best Rieslimgs.

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.

'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.

'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.](http://paulsmit.smugmug.com/Features/Europe/Austria-Along-the-Danube/20-Wachau-Aggstein/51387820_m7Fts-Ti.jpg "Smit & Palarczyk > [AUSTRIA.NIEDER 03597]

Danube at Stein.'
The Frauenbergkirche, the St. Nikolauskirche behind it and Stift Göttweig, the huge monastery on the hill in the distance, are all part of the Wachau charm, the UNESCO World Heritage Site along the Austrian Danube. Double town Krems-und-Stein is my favourite historical town in this region. Be drawn into a church by the sound of its organ, get lost in the cobbled streets or climb above the roofs on the vineyard slopes.](http://paulsmit.smugmug.com/Features/Europe/Austria-Along-the-Danube/26-Stein-at-Donau/50101036_xKgUA-Ti.jpg "Smit & Palarczyk > [AUSTRIA.NIEDER 03652]
