Wine and Culture on Beautiful Blue Danube.

Gentle hills, blossoming apricot trees, the glittering Danube - can you see it in your mind's eye? It's easy to make this dream come true! Come with us on a hiking tour through the Wachau and actively experience the advantages of this infinitely beautiful region. One of the most wonderful landscapes in Austria awaits you on the 180km-long Wachau World Heritage Trail, as well as unique culinary delights and cultural highlights.­ ­ ­


Details about the 5-day World Heritage Trail Wachau with Charm

The approximately 35km-long Wachau tour begins at its eastern end in Krems. Our 5-day short trip also starts here. In addition to numerous highlights, there are also 20 palaces and castles that represent a unique relic from the past on the World Heritage Trail. The Göttweig Monastery and the Dürnstein ruins, for example, are worth a visit.


Even on day 3, you are guaranteed not to be bored. You can expect top-class products such as Austria's largest apricot-growing region. The Wachau is full of lovely villages, including Spitz on the Danube. The small village serves as a hiking destination on day 4.


Useful information about the World Heritage Trail Wachau with Charm

This trip is ideal for leisure hikers, as, in addition to the wonderful views, numerous wine taverns invite you to stop for a break. The hills in this area are not very high, but there are challenging sections. As an alternative, these can usually be replaced by more leisurely routes. An additional highlight awaits visitors in spring: the apricot blossom. The Eurohike package includes a boat trip from Spitz to Krems.
