Mostviertel - regiunea tentatiilor
Regiunea Mostviertel se află în Austria Inferioară, la aproximativ 120 km în vestul Vienei. Mostviertel este un refugiu înfloritor al deliciilor, între Dunare şi muntele Ötscher. Contrastul încântător între zona lină şi fertilă din partea nordică şi lumea alpină sălbatică din sud, te atrage la diferite excursii de descoperire, aventuri montane şi vacanţe familiale distractive.
În partea de sud a Dunării regiunea este caracterizată prin dealuri line. Aici este ţinutul Baronilor Mustului, a producătorilor de vin şi schnaps şi a fermierilor. Aici sunt cultivate perele, din care producătorii obţin mustul de pere.
Dar Mostviertel are si o zona salbatica cu stânci bizare, chei adânci, ape înspumate şi trei parcuri naturale -- lumea alpină din jurul munţilor Ötscher, Hochkar, Dürrenstein, Gippel şi Göller. Vara, munţii de aproape 2000 m, sunt îndrăgiţi de drumeţi şi de iubitorii naturii. Aici a fost tărâmul fierarilor. Astăzi, muzeele şi traseele tematice din Parcul Cultural Eisenstrasse (Drumul Fierului) spun poveşti despre acele vremuri.

Dürnstein Castle Wachau Austria 04
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.
