Wachaubahn (Emmersdorf - Krems)

The train ride on the Wachau Railway from Emmersdorf to Krems takes you right through the Wachau UNESCO World Heritage Site and offers relaxing views of the Danube and the region’s distinctive cultural landscape. Passing historic towns such as Spitz, Weißenkirchen, and Dürnstein, the train glides through vineyards and apricot orchards toward the Krems Valley ("Kremstal" in German). Large panoramic windows make the ride itself a special experience—comfortable, unhurried, and ideal for enjoying the beauty of the Wachau.
