Gobelsburg Castle

Highlight • Castle

Gobelsburg Castle is not only an enchanting eye-catcher from the outside, but also has a lot to offer on the inside: huge wine barrels lie dormant in the cellar of this winery. It is also rented out as an event location.

Old Town of Krems on the Danube

Highlight • Historical Site

A worthwhile destination for a tour or a detour off the main route. A pretty, tranquil town with several sights. You can easily linger here for a while; there's plenty to discover. It's worth it!

The historic old town – part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site along with the neighboring town of Stein – boasts medieval alleys, baroque buildings, and landmarks such as the Steiner Tor (Stein Gate) and Gozzoburg Castle. Culturally, the Krems Art Mile shapes the cityscape with institutions such as the Kunsthalle (Art Gallery), the Caricature Museum, and the Lower Austrian State Gallery. Economically, Krems is closely linked to winemaking: Numerous wineries, especially known for Grüner Veltliner and Riesling, are located around the city.

Thanks to its location on the Danube Cycle Path, Krems is also a popular destination for cyclists. A good network of cycle paths makes the city an ideal starting point for tours into the Wachau region and the surrounding Lower Austrian countryside.

Bridge Over the Jungle-Like Tributary Near Theiß

Highlight • Bridge

This tributary of the Danube is very overgrown. It has something of a jungle along the Amazon, especially when you cross the bridge.

Grafenegg Castle

Highlight • Castle

Grafenegg Castle
The castle is rich in historical evidence and its origins date back to 1435. From then on, it underwent several metamorphoses over the centuries until it finally became the Tudor-style castle that we see today. Count Breuner-Eckevoirt, a lover of architecture, had the Renaissance castle rebuilt in the 19th century in the style of romantic historicism. Today, the castle is owned by the Metternich-Sándor family, who have restored the castle with the support of the state of Lower Austria.

September 30, 2025,Von Krems a. d. Donau nach Schiltern und ins untere Kamptal

First of all... I was too lazy for photos today! But not for the tour, which took place in somewhat chilly temperatures. Krems... 6 degrees... oh dear! But it was all a matter of clothing, and I was well-equipped. The cellar lane in Rohrendorf is truly impressive. After a coffee in Langenlois, I started the climb to Schiltern. Moderate at …
