Dürnstein, located at the foot of the steep castle rock overlooking the Danube, with its well-preserved medieval city wall ring, is one of the most important urban ensembles in Lower Austria. The old Kuenringer town, where tradition and beauty meet in a unique way, is an indispensable destination on the banks of the Danube. Enjoy Wachau wines during your stay in a cozy Heuriger tavern or in the shady garden of a restaurant.
