The valley along the Danube River between Melk and Krems, the Wachau, is one of the best-known landscapes in the world.
Hiking the World Heritage Trail of the Wachau Valley is a true treat for the senses. High above the free-flowing Danube River and over centuries-old stone terraces in the wine growing area of Wachau, the trail leads through some of the most eminent vineyards of Austria, through apricot-tree orchards, and picturesque wine-producing villages. The unique taste of Wachau white wines and the old Wachau variety of apricots comes from the distinctive climate and the soil, and is a treat for all who appreciate wine and love apricots in every form. You will hike through a 2000-year-old landscape, past legendary castles and abbeys dating back to the Middles Ages and the Renaissance era. You never forget the pristine natural beauty and the magnificent panoramic views of this unique river landscape.
