Many people that we have spoken with have stated, and we agree, that the Wachau Valley is simply splendid. Breathtaking views of wine country, charming towns, monasteries and terraced vineyards. You will pass many UNESCO world heritage sites. This wine producing region goes back to the Romans. A wonderful journey through time.

We decided to go castle hunting as we had time to kill. Given the location off the motorway, it certainly did kill some time hunting it down. Followed by a trek (via car) up the mountain to reach it.
Arriving near closing time, we did not do the tour. But at least we have been in a castle over 1000 years old...
3. Burgruine Duernstein
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 292 reviews
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.

Steep walk up to the castle that Legend has it imprisoned Richard the Lionheart. The castle is now mostly ruins but nonetheless the views across the river but well worth your effort.
The town itself is full of touristy type shops, not for me but I guess that we all have to make a living!!

Just a few years after relocating their residence to Klosterneuburg, Margrave Leopold III and his wife, Agnes, founded the monastery near their castle as a religious, social and cultural center in 1114. They handed the monastery over to the Canons Regular of St. Augustine in 1133.

We were enroute from Salzburg to Vienna and stopped off at Klosterneuburg for a couple hours to visit the monastery & town. The Klosterneuburg Monastery is a twelfth-century Augustinian monastery of the Roman Catholic Church located in a hill overlooking the Danube river and town. The Monastery contains the Verduner Altar, made in 1181 by Nicholas of Verdun. Its three parts comprise 45 gilded copper plates modeled on Byzantine paragons. The complex also contains a museum with a collection of Gothic and Baroque sculpture and a gallery of paintings. The paintings found in the abbey church have been well preserved and are impressive. It has been remodeled in the Baroque style in the seventeenth century and was my favourite part of the Monastery complex. If you are travelling through the area, Stift Klosterneuburg is a scenic and historical spot to spend a couple of hours. It has a quaint, picturesque setting with monastery overlooking the town.

We had several days in the Wachau Valley and had time to explore, so we spent some time at the Goettweig Abby. The church was pretty but could not compare to Melk Abbey. I wouldn't make a special trip to see if , especially if...MoreThank you for taking the time to rate us!
6. Ducal Rotunda of the Virgin Mary and St Catherine

Reviewed By EleP - Vilnius, Lithuania
Even though the Rotunda doesn't look like anything special from the outside, it's definitely worth the fee and the waiting time. The 15 min. or so one is allowed to stay is simply hard to describe in words. It justifies the trip to Znojmo, which otherwise is a quiet, average border town.

ATTENTION! The Karikaturmuseum Krems closes temporarily until May 12, 2017 due to reconstruction works. Reopening will take place on 13 May 2017. Karikaturmuseum Krems is the very unique museum for caricature, cartoons, comics and satire art in Austria. Founded in 2001, the architect and caricaturist Gustav Peichl / IRONIMUS planned the museum and enriches Krems with its Exhibitions. There are also about 2-3 temporary Exhibitions per year where artworks from popular international cartoonists are shown.
Reviewed By Charming_Karl - Charleston, South Carolina
When we visited this museum, its shows were dedicated to two cartoonist/humorists, Manfred Deix and Guillermo Mordillo. In addition to stills of the latter's works, there were also screens showing various short films of his cartoons, all involving his signature tiny people with big bulbous noses. We loved the museum, and thought its light-hearted atmosphere made a nice contrast to a day in Krems that had involved lots of monuments like the Piaristenkirche.

Reviewed By Michele G - Los Angeles, California
From the moment you walk through the entrance embedded in a large defensive wall, you enter the tournament grounds surrounded by arched passageways where you imagine spectators sat during the Middle Ages jousting competitions, it's huge! Walking through the jousting grounds you enter an arched enter into the heart of the medieval castle and it's younger addition of the renaissance. You immediately understand why movies reminiscent of Grimm brother fairy tales are filmed here. The visit to the old medieval castle is a wonderful experience to understand the life of the nobility who lived here ; as well, there is a fine collection of armor. And lastly, the falcon and bird show on the outside courtyard grounds overlooking the valley is just plain fun and impressive. Not to be missed!

A visit to Hrad Landstejn is a trip back to the 13th Century. Interesting history and the ruins are rather impressive. The climb to the top is rewarding with views as far as the Austrian border. The historical drawings and period information is quite interesting and adds to the experience.
