Nationalpark Donau-Auen

The Donau-Auen National Park is protecting one of the last large unbuilt wetlands areas in Europe. Here the dynamics of the flowing stream are still active. The rise and fall of the water levels define life rhythms in the wetlands. The river shaped this landscape with its floods and still nurtures today a large diversity of plants and animals. In the National Park nature can develop free from economic restrictions. The visitor centre at the Donau-Auen National Park in Orth on the Danube beckons as "Gateway to the Wetlands" - the starting place for getting to know the fascinating world of the Danube wetlands. It offers information and reservations, the multimedia exhibition DonAUraum, the Schlossinsel ("castle island") on the grounds including underwater observatory and the National Park shop and cafe.

Wachau Valley

Reviewed By s1rw - Markham, Canada

The Wachua is a picturesque landscape carved out by the river Danube. Enjoy the Beautiful Blue Danube as it meanders passing cities from Melk to Krems. Relax on deck of the river boat, with a glass of apricot wine under the sunset as the boat navigates and winds it way through lush hills with granite tops, passing terraced vineyards, historic villages and ruins of Medieval castles. Just a beautiful and memorable experience

Beautiful parkland with lots of picturesque walks around a large lake with a fairytale castle on an island. The park has labelled trees giving it the feel of an arboretum. If you are so inclined there are boats for hire so you can cruise the lake. Beautiful place.

Burgruine Duernstein

Castle Kuernriger (Schloß Kürnriger) is the main attraction of Durnstein (Dürnstein). It is the ruins of the castle in which Richard Leoncoeur, King of England was held prisoner for a year while returning from a Crusade. The ransom was used by the Duke of Babenberg to build the city walls of Vienna. This is a popular historical attraction especially for British people.

Many reviews mention the word hike to get here. That's overegging the pudding in my opinion as it's more like a slightly strenuous hill climb although I do agree that parts of the descent could be slippery in wet weather. There is more than one route up and down by the way. The main route is dotted with information boards giving details of Richard Ist's imprisonment and his relationship with his brother John, Saladdin and Leopold Duke of Austria. Overall I think that there's little doubt that Richard was a nasty piece of work and one can understand John's reluctance to bankrupt England to raise the ransom money.That's another debate however so enjoy the ruins and views in this lovely part of the Wachau valley.

Castle Grafenegg

Reviewed By 972LizC - Minneapolis, United States

Just about 50 km from Vienna on route to Wachau valley is this beautiful castle. We biked off the river to here and it was an hour detour and we loved it! You can enjoy a tour in the castle rooms and the beautiful gardens. I wished we were staying in the cottages and sending our musical child here in the summer. We had a picnic and large shpritz.
