Stift Durnstein

The Wachau from Pöchlarn via Melk to Dürnstein - Austria HD Travel Channel

The area around the town of Poechlarn was already populated 6.000 years ago. Here, the Romans erected a fort. The place is known as ancestral castle of Rüdiger of Bechelaren in the Song of the Nibelungs. The most famous citizen of the town is the Austrian expressionist Oskar Kokoschka.
Only a few kilometers away is Melk with its famous Melk Abbey. Originally there was a castle, which Margrave Leopold I from the House of Babenberg made his residence after he had been enfeoffed by Emperor Otto II of Lower Austria with this area in 976.
Thus begins the chapter of Austrian history which ends with the Imperial and Royal Monarchy. During the tenure of his successor, Margrave Henry I, Ostarrîchi was mentioned the first time and St. Koloman, the son of an Irish king was executed. The stoning took place in Stockerau and he was buried in Melk. Probably the existence of such an important tomb led to the founding of the Melk Abbey.
The abbey in its present form was built by the baroque architect Jakob Prandtauer and is famous for its valuable furnishing.
Not far from Melk is Schallaburg Castle, one of the most beautiful Renaissance castles in Austria. It is frequently used for major traveling exhibitions and in 2006 one could visit Genghis Khan and his Heirs - The Empire of the Mongols.
Along apricot orchards we reach Dürnstein, where Richard I Lionheart of England was kept prisoner in the Castle.

Die Gegend um die Ortschaft Pöchlarn war bereits vor 6.000 Jahren besiedelt. Auch hier errichteten die Römer ein Kastell. Bekannt wurde der Ort als Stammburg des Rüdiger von Bechelaren im Nibelungenlied.
Der berühmteste Bürger der Stadt ist der Expressionist Oskar Kokoschka.
Nur wenige Kilometer weiter liegt Melk mit seinem berühmten Stift. Ursprünglich stand dort die Burg, die Markgraf Leopold I., aus dem Geschlecht der Babenberger, die eigentlich Popponen waren, zu seinem Herrschaftssitz machte, nachdem er 976 mit diesem Gebiet Niederösterreichs von Kaiser Otto II. belehnt worden war.
Damit beginnt das Kapitel österreichischer Geschichte, das mit der k.k. Monarchie endet. In die Amtszeit seines Nachfolgers, des Markgrafen Heinrich I., fallen die erste urkundliche Erwähnung von Ostarrîchi und die Hinrichtung des hl. Koloman, eines irischen Königssohns. Die Steinigung fand in Stockerau statt, begraben wurde er in Melk. Wahrscheinlich führte das Bestehen eines so wichtigen Grabes zur Gründung des Stifts.
Das Stift in seiner heutigen Form wurde vom Barockbaumeister Jakob Prandtauer errichtet und ist für seine wertvolle Ausstattung berühmt.
Nicht weit entfernt von Melk liegt die Schallaburg, die zu den schönsten Renaissanceburgen Österreichs zählt. Häufig wird sie für bedeutende Wanderausstellungen verwendet; 2006 war hier „Dschingis Khan und seine Erben - das Weltreich der Mongolen zu sehen.
Vorbei an Marillenplantagen (Aprikosenplantagen) erreichen wir Dürnstein, wo einst Richard Löwenherz gefangen war.

【HD】???? Hike to Dürnstein Castle in Austria

In this video walk I hike to Dürnstein Castle on a sunny Saturday in spring. Located in the wonderful Wachau Valley in Austria, the town and the castle are a famous tourist spot.

After following the road through the old town of Dürnstein, I take a somewhat hidden passage to get to the Danube river. Sadly, I couldn't access the town's famous blue church because due to ongoing construction works.

After that I follow the path leading up to the old stronghold. The hike to Dürnstein Castle didn't take very long, even though the way was quite steep. The amazing view over the Wachau Valley was well worth the effort.

Dürnstein Castle Wachau Austria 01

Dürnstein is a small town on the Danube river in the Krems-Land district, in the Austrian state of Lower Austria. It is one of the most visited tourist destinations in the Wachau region and also a well-known wine growing area. The municipality consists of the Katastralgemeinden Dürnstein, Oberloiben and Unterloiben. The town gained its name from the medieval castle which overlooked it. The castle was called Duerrstein or Dürrstein, from the German duerr/dürr meaning dry and Stein, stone. The castle was dry because it was situated on a rocky hill, high above the damp conditions of the Danube at the base of the hill, and it was built of stone. Dürnstein Castle was first mentioned in 1192, when, in the castle above the town, King Richard I Lionheart of England was held captive by Duke Leopold V of Austria after their dispute during the Third Crusade. Richard had personally offended Leopold by casting down his standard from the walls at the Battle of Acre, and the duke suspected that King Richard ordered the murder of his cousin Conrad of Montferrat in Jerusalem. In consequence Pope Celestine III excommunicated Leopold for capturing a fellow crusader. The duke finally gave the custody of Richard to Emperor Henry VI, who imprisoned Richard at Trifels Castle. Dürnstein Castle was almost completely destroyed by the troops of the Swedish Empire under Field Marshal Lennart Torstenson in 1645.
Dürnstein Abbey (Stift Dürnstein) was established in 1410 by Canons Regular from Třeboň and from 1710 rebuilt in a Baroque style according to plans by Joseph Munggenast, Jakob Prandtauer and Matthias Steinl. The monastery was dissolved by order of Emperor Joseph II in 1788 and fell to the Herzogenburg Priory. During the War of the Third Coalition the Battle of Dürenstein was fought nearby on November 11, 1805.

Welterbesteig Wachau, Etappe Dürnstein nach Krems

Diesmal wandern wir auf dem Welterbesteig in der Wachau von Dürnstein nach Krems. Damit wir am Tag unabhängig sind, fahren wir zuerst mit dem Schiff auf der Donau von Krems nach Dürnstein. Die Tagesgebühr für PKW begträgt € 2,00 und der Parkplatz liegt gleich in der Nähe der Schiffsanlegestelle Krems. Wir genießen wie wunderschöne Fahrt auf der Donau und lassen die Landschaft an uns vorbeiziehen. Nach der Ankunft in Dürnstein besuchen wir vorerst noch diesen mittelalterlichen Ort bevor wir auf die Burgruine hinauf wandern, von wo dann der Welterbesteig Richtung Krems abzweigt.

Wir wandern dann auf dem alten Steig auf die Burgruine und genießen wieder die traumhafte Aussicht auf die Wachau und die Donau. Angeblich wurde hier auf der Ruine vom Dezember 1192 bis März 1193 Richard Löwenherz gefangen gehalten. Von hier oben zweigt nun der Weg nach Krems ab. Wir wandern durch eine trockene und im Sommer sehr heiße Landschaft und eine Einkehrmöglichkeit gibt es unterwegs nicht. Daher empfehlen wir, genug Getränke und etwas Jause mitzunehmen. Ordentliches Schuhwerk ist natürlich angebracht und selbstverständlich.

Die Wanderung führt uns auf schönen Wanderwegen durch die Weinberge und wir genießen immer wieder die herrlichen Ausblicke. Die Wanderung dauert ohne Rast ca. 5 Stunden. Die Wanderung endet in den schönen Gassen von Krems die uns dann wieder zu unserem Ausgangspunkt führen. Von dort treten wir dann wieder unsere Heimreise mit dem PKW an. Diese Wanderung ist sehr empfehlenswert und nicht allzu schwierig.
