The nicest way to get to Emmersdorf is offered by the Wachau railway.
By bike, you then travel a flat section of the Danube cycle path upstream with magnificent views. The first destination is the Weitenegg leisure center, which offers a beautiful child- and family-friendly bathing beach! There is a buffet with toilets and changing cabins, showers, pedal boat rental, an aquajump, surfing opportunities, a playground, and a beach volleyball court. There is also the option to rent a boat and admire the landscape from the water. The crossing of the power plant offers exciting views – maybe a ship is just passing through the lock! – and also allows a visit to the sights of Melk on the opposite shore. The return route leads across the Danube bridge and back to the station in Emmersdorf.
Author’s recommendation
Be sure to allow enough time for the Weitenegg leisure center! Child- and family-friendly bathing beach, buffet with toilets and changing cabins, pedal boat rental, an aquajump, surfing opportunities, and a beach volleyball court.
And if your calves still have strength, you can visit the Wachau donkey adventure in Rantenberg. The donkey driving license is a highlight for young and old! Additionally, there are 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.
