Wachau Valley (Austria) Vacation Travel Video Guide

Travel video about destination Wachau Valley in Austria.
The Wachau is the most famous stretch of the Danube in Austria, thirty six kilometres of romantic Danube Valley. Today’s townscape of Krems brings back bygone days and a particularly beautifully-preserved street complex. More than a hundred buildings provide an authentic picture of the Old Town. Today, the buildings’ façades and entrances are decorated in the traditional way and show off the town’s splendid Renaissance and mediaeval buildings. Sacred monuments recall the victory of Catholicism over Protestantism following two centuries of hostilities. Up the Danube to Dürnstein, a place with a long history and unique appearance. Arrival by boat is particularly scenic and a jetty leads to a wall from where a gate and steps provide access to the Old Town. The small mediaeval town clings picturesquely to the cliffs above the Danube, guarded by castle ruins and fortified walls. In Roman times, vines were cultivated in this picturesque area due to the region’s ideal growing conditions and Weissenkirchen has always been a wine-growing centre. The steep river valley and its terraced vine gardens enjoy a temperate climate. The small village has a long and dramatic history and its old houses and lanes are indelibly evocative of the past. Spitz is picturesquely embedded within its surrounding vineyards, and the legendary Thousand Bucket Mountain is an imposing sight. It was not only due to wine but also the trading of both wood and salt that Spitz attained an important position in the Middle Ages and at the beginning of modern times. Since the year 2000, the Wachau has been a World Cultural Region, a gem on the long route of the Danube, a picturesque river valley where both mediaeval and Baroque create an exceptional atmosphere, and nature, the perfect setting.

I love this video and the music and narrator’s voice bring me so much joy and comfort. I visited Wachau five years ago and stayed in beautiful Melk, cycling along the Danube to Durnstein. Absolutely stunning! The video can’t do justice to the real deal. I’m so excited to return this summer and spend two nights, one in Melk and one in Krems, being able to make the full journey between the two and rediscover this wondrous place!

Can you please share some information on winery tour in Wachau valley. There’s no such enough information for individual who directly want to visit these winery’s

I am not aware of the tours but while wandering through the terraced vineyards I found several self checkout wine fridges with clean glasses, tables and no trace of humans nearby, it was a gorgeous view
