The Danube once flowed through the Spitzer Graben. This is why the gentle valley along the Spitzer Bach is the largest side valley of the Wachau. Gut am Steg, Vießling and Elsarn are home to the steepest wine terraces in the Wachau. At the upper end of the valley lies Mühldorf, surrounded by a blossoming idyll of meadows and fruit trees. It is hard to believe that graphite was once mined on the edge of the village. Today, natural spectacles such as the apricot blossom can be admired there and many award-winning Grüne Veltliners, Rieslings and Neuburger wines can be tasted. In fine weather from around May on many Sundays and public holidays from 11 am - 4 pm at the Zornberghütte in the Spitzergraben.
Tip: It's worth filling a picnic backpack with Wachau specialties and wines and taking a break at one or two beautiful spots.
