The holiday resort Emmersdorf offers the perfect starting point for bike trips into the Wachau and the nearby Waldviertel, as well as upriver along the Danube to Grein. In Luberegg, in the old riverbank area, there are two stone round towers. In old times, they served as lighthouse and signal towers for shipping and illuminated the wood stacking and loading site built around 1780 at the raft landing as fire towers. Swimming, sailing, rowing, and surfing are possible on the Danube Lake in Weitenegg at the foot of the ruin.
Author’s recommendation
Be sure to allow enough time for the Weitenegg Recreation Center! Child- and family-friendly bathing beach, buffet with toilets and changing rooms, pedal boat rental, an aqua jump, surfing options, and a beach volleyball court. Directly opposite is the Gruber Inn www.wirtshausgruber.at
And if you still have strength in your calves, you can visit the Wachau Donkey Adventure in Rantenberg. The donkey driving license is a highlight for young and old! There are also donkey carriage rides and donkey hikes. Information at www.eselabenteuer.com or by phone with Anita Brunner at tel.: +43 (0)660 39 11 465.
