Imposing, sturdy building directly on the riverbank. Unusual at first glance, very interesting and worth seeing.

The cycle path near Rossatz is very idyllic, but in summer there is heavy bicycle traffic. Racing is definitely not the order of the day here, but rather rolling along leisurely and enjoying the ride!

Göttweig Abbey is often called the "Austrian Montecassino" - and as soon as you stand in front of it, you understand why. It sits majestically on a 422-meter-high hill on the eastern edge of the Wachau, directly opposite Krems and Mautern. The abbey, as we see it today, is the result of a gigantic reconstruction after a devastating fire in 1718. The famous architect Johann Lucas von Hildebrandt (who also designed the Belvedere Palace in Vienna) planned a huge, palace-like complex. Due to a lack of funds, however, only about two-thirds of the original plan was completed - which does not make the complex any less impressive.
