The Wachau is one of the most beautiful and famous regions in Austria. Visitors from all over the world come here to enjoy
the picturesque landscape, the cultural heritage and the superb wines that grow in this area.
Situated in the heart of the magnificent Wachau Valley, on the banks of the mighty River Danube, the charming
town of Dürnstein offers the unique combination of a breathtaking scenery, traditional architecture, and places of historic
interest. It was in the Kuenringer Castle, whose ruins still overlook Dürnstein, that the English King Richard Lionheart was
held prisoner. The breathtaking scenery with its ancient, terraced vineyards, the numerous cultural sites and the mild climate
will make you want to linger…
Why not sit down in the shade of an old tree in a restaurant garden or in one of the cosy Heurigen wine taverns and enjoy
world-class wines from our local vintners? Apart from culinary delights, Dürnstein also offers plenty of opportunities both
for cultural and sports activities and is the ideal starting point for your tour of the Wachau.
