Experience, marvel, enjoy
Nestled between rolling vineyards, impressive monasteries and modern cultural venues, the Wachau–Nibelungengau–Krems Valley region combines some of Lower Austria's most beautiful excursion destinations. Lower Austria's Top Excursion Destinations stand for exceptional quality and special experiences – whether cultural, historical or culinary.
An absolute highlight is Melk Abbey, one of the most important Baroque monasteries in Europe and the magnificent gateway to the Wachau. High above the Danube rises Göttweig Abbey, which, with its magnificent architecture and splendid views, is considered the spiritual landmark of the region. Contemporary art and inspiring exhibitions await visitors to the Landesgalerie Niederösterreich in Krems, whose modern architecture blends perfectly into the historic ensemble of the Kunstmeile Krems.
