Wachau Cultural Landscape by Jakob Frenzel

October 2021 - I had been several times to Vienna and also got to know the Donau between Vienna and Bratislava, but never managed to visit the Wachau. This time we came by camper and were here right during grape-harvest. So perfect time to have some „Sturms“. In the morning hours we entered Krems and walked around this rather calm, unexciting little town. Across the river in Mautern we visited remains of the Danube Limes but decided to continue on the north bank of the Donau again. Although crowded with tourists we parked in the vineyards of Dürnstein, had some wine and Vesper at a local Heuriger, before we walked through the charming little Austrian village. The cars are directed underneath the town, thus the view at the Donau is wonderful at this place. After tasting some obligatory  specialities, we drove further so Spitz in search for vinyards offering authentic austrian food. This part was rather disappointing though, I guess you have to drive inlands which we did not do. Consequently we ended up in Melk that night, where we had at least big Schnitzels and stayed overnight at the feed of the famous Abbey. At the end we only spent a day in the Wachau, but the Journey through Czechia was worth it.
