Always beautiful, the view over the Danube to Dürnstein. Especially in the evening sun 🌞.

The culturally interested traveler will not encounter it unexpectedly, the Benedictine Abbey, mostly known by the name STIFT MELK – and under the patronage of the two apostle princes – whose official designation is „Abbatia SS. App. Petri et Pauli apud Melk“. It is not only significant in a religious respect, but even an essential part of the cultural landscape of Wachau, ennobled by UNESCO with the special predicate „World Heritage“. A documentation within the framework of the television series »Schätze der Welt – Erbe der Menschheit« reports: „A landmark of the Wachau and actually the staging of this landscape is the Stift Melk. The core of the Melk monastery complex is the library, with 85,000 volumes and 1200 manuscripts, one of the largest in the world. It is the ideological headquarters of Benedictinism. Here everything is stored that can be described as the foundation of the Western spirit.“ The fifteen-minute contribution about this highlight, awarded by UNESCO with the predicate „World Heritage“, is available in the ARD media library via the following link =>> https://www.ardmediathek.de/video/schaetze-der-welt/die-wachau-oesterreich-folge-282/swr/Y3JpZDovL3N3ci5kZS82ODcyNjk0

Rollfähre Spitz-Arnsdorf The Rollfähre connects the villages of Spitz and Arnsdorf by water. The ferry, consisting of two interconnected hulls, has a load capacity of 20 t (bridge load on its own 10 t) and transports both people and vehicles. The loading deck substructure is made of steel, while the superstructures are made of wood. The catamaran design ensures good stability. The ferry is held by a 485 m long cable, which is stretched across the Danube and anchored to the banks in strong towers. The ferry and cable are connected by a so-called yaw rope. No expensive energy is required for propulsion; only the river current of the Danube is utilized. The Rollfähre has a four-person crew, working in pairs. Since 2004, an art object by the Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson has been installed on the ferry.

The vineyards are largely terraced here. That's why it looks so good.
