Apricot blossom

Apricot blossom: a blooming natural spectacle

When spring arrives in the Wachau region, the terraces and gardens glow in a delicate pink colour. Over 100,000 apricot trees burst into bloom, transforming the World Heritage Site into a sea of blossoms. This impressive natural spectacle attracts many spectators every year. The Wachau region makes access easier with a special spring ticket for the Wachau Railway, ferries and buses – climate-friendly and convenient. A webcam provides live impressions of the blossom, allowing spontaneous visitors to plan their stay optimally. The diverse hiking trails through the apricot orchards invite you to explore the landscape in all its splendour.

History and webcam

Depending on the weather, the apricot blossom lasts between 10 days and 3 weeks throughout the Wachau region. Experience shows that this enchanting spectacle begins in Krems and then spreads through the Wachau region to Aggsbach Markt and the Spitzer Graben, where the Wachau apricot blooms latest.

With the webcam, you are always up to date.
