Spitz on the Danube

Highlight • Settlement

Spitz an der Donau is one of the most picturesque villages in the Wachau and an absolute must for any visitor to the region. It is located directly on the Danube and is surrounded by terraced vineyards. A worthwhile destination for a tour. You can linger here for a while, there is a lot to discover! A very beautiful, tranquil place with some sights.

The narrow alleys and old houses in Renaissance and Baroque style convey a journey back in time to the Middle Ages. The noteworthy town hall square is a central meeting point with charming pubs and shops. Hinterhaus Castle ruin, a medieval castle ruin, towers above the village and offers spectacular views of the Wachau.

Spitz is idyllically situated between the Danube and the famous vineyards of the Wachau, offering one of the most beautiful backdrops in the region. The village is perfectly suited as a destination or stopover for a bike tour. The place combines nature, history, and enjoyment in a unique way.

Trail between St. Michael and Spitz an der Donau

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Very impressive steep wall with interesting stone formations on one side, Danube on the other side.

Very beautiful, but unfortunately also very noisy section, as the cycle path runs partly next to the main road and the stone wall amplifies the noise.

St. Michael's Fortified Church in the Wachau

Highlight • Religious Site

The (restored) ossuary in the St. Michael cemetery, right next to the church, is well worth seeing. A small window gives a good view of the interior with the incredible skull pieta and the polychrome vaulted ribs. The medieval Mount of Olives relief on the southern nave facade was also restored and now, after being uncovered, shows the preserved colored differentiation of the scenes. Ms. Huber, lives on the outskirts of Spitz, is happy to provide information and give guided tours.
