Wachau in HD (Austria) Vacation Travel Video Guide
Travel video about destination Wachau in Austria.
As with almost anywhere within the Wachau, the clocks of the dreamy town of Stein seem to run a little slower than in other parts of Austria. Its well preserved ensemble of old houses is not uncommon and the Wachau region enjoys a good reputation for its fine historic treasures and elegant buildings.Krems is like a fairytale town. The wrought iron signs on its buildings and its wonderful historic atmosphere are truly captivating. The former stronghold and subsequent rival of Vienna contains several beautiful lanes and imposing buildings that reflect the wealth of its former citizens. Amid the vast terraces of the Wachau vineyards is the village of Weissenkirchen in which several hospitable inns provide their customers with an ideal opportunity to sample the wines of this region. Winegrowing has a long tradition in this section of the Danube and the area between Krems and Melk is one of the oldest cultivated landscapes in Austria. The Wachau is a landscape full of warmth as well as being steeped in history and age old traditions.

The Wachau is an Austrian valley with a picturesque landscape formed by the Danube river.
It is one of the most prominent tourist destinations of Lower Austria, located midway between the towns of Melk and Krems
that also attracts connoisseurs and epicureans for its high-quality wines.
It is 40 kilometres in length and was already settled in prehistoric times.
A well-known place and tourist attraction is Dürnstein, where King Richard the Lion-Heart of England was held captive by Duke Leopold V.
The architectural elegance of its ancient monasteries, castles and ruins combined with the urban architecture of its towns and villages, and the cultivation of vines as an important agricultural produce are the dominant features of the valley.
The Wachau was inscribed as Wachau Cultural Landscape in the UNESCO List of World Heritage Sites in recognition of its architectural and agricultural history, in December 2000.
In the Wachau, the town of Spitz lies on the Danube's western bank and the city of Melk on its eastern bank.
Other important towns in the valley are Dürnstein, Weißenkirchen in der Wachau and Emmersdorf an der Donau,
which have a galaxy of old homestead buildings dating from the mid-6th century.
The railway line built in 1909 between Krems and Emmersdorf is a topographical marvel.
The Danube River has a good network consisting of an inland navigation system.
The Wachau valley historic sights can be visited by steamer boats; the best season to visit is between May and September.
Autobahn services are also available from Vienna to visit all the important places in the Wachau.
The well-developed road network between Melk and Krems follows the contour of the valley.
However, there are no bridges across the Danube River in this region, and ferries are the only way to cross the river.
The origin of the wine growing tradition in Austria, and in particular in the Wachau valley, and its popularity beyond its borders, is attributed to medieval period of the Roman settlements.
The Vinea Wachau Nobilis Districts date to Leuthold I von Kuenring (1243–1313).
Wine production peaked under the Carolingians.
Krems has a long history as the hub of the Wachau wine trade, while the town of Dürnstein is also known for being one of the Wachau wine centres.

Wachau Valley (Austria) Vacation Travel Video Guide
Travel video about destination Wachau Valley in Austria.
The Wachau is the most famous stretch of the Danube in Austria, thirty six kilometres of romantic Danube Valley. Today’s townscape of Krems brings back bygone days and a particularly beautifully-preserved street complex. More than a hundred buildings provide an authentic picture of the Old Town. Today, the buildings’ façades and entrances are decorated in the traditional way and show off the town’s splendid Renaissance and mediaeval buildings. Sacred monuments recall the victory of Catholicism over Protestantism following two centuries of hostilities. Up the Danube to Dürnstein, a place with a long history and unique appearance. Arrival by boat is particularly scenic and a jetty leads to a wall from where a gate and steps provide access to the Old Town. The small mediaeval town clings picturesquely to the cliffs above the Danube, guarded by castle ruins and fortified walls. In Roman times, vines were cultivated in this picturesque area due to the region’s ideal growing conditions and Weissenkirchen has always been a wine-growing centre. The steep river valley and its terraced vine gardens enjoy a temperate climate. The small village has a long and dramatic history and its old houses and lanes are indelibly evocative of the past. Spitz is picturesquely embedded within its surrounding vineyards, and the legendary Thousand Bucket Mountain is an imposing sight. It was not only due to wine but also the trading of both wood and salt that Spitz attained an important position in the Middle Ages and at the beginning of modern times. Since the year 2000, the Wachau has been a World Cultural Region, a gem on the long route of the Danube, a picturesque river valley where both mediaeval and Baroque create an exceptional atmosphere, and nature, the perfect setting.

Cultural Treasures - Austria (Europe) Vacation Travel Video Guide
Travel videos about the cultural treasures in Austria.
Vienna was once Austria’s seat of Empire, located in what is the very heart of Europe. The monumental Stefansdom is Vienna’s most prominent landmark. The cathedral’s three-sectioned hall with its late Romanesque western side was built at the beginning of the fourteenth century and its façade was only widened later when its steep roof was also re-built. The Wiener Hofburg is a large complex of buildings that contain various architectural styles dating from between the thirteenth and nineteenth centuries and was the Viennese residence and legislative centre of the Habsburger Dynasty, the emperors of the ‘holy Roman empire’ of the German nation. Amid the vast terraces of the Wachau vineyards is the village of Weissenkirchen in which several inns provide their customers with an ideal opportunity to sample the wines of this region. Wine growing has a long tradition in this section of the Danube, indeed, the area between Krems and Melk is one of the oldest cultivated landscapes in Austria. The Semmering Railway is a remarkable alpine railroad that has been operating for a hundred and fifty years. Te starting point of a fascinating journey is the town of Gloggnitz that has around seven thousand inhabitants. The railway line to the Semmering Pass contains sixteen viaducts, more than a hundred bridges and fifteen tunnels! Salzburg is rightfully proud of its most famous citizen, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, as both his birthplace and residence are situated in the middle of the old town. Mediaeval Salzburg became the ‘German Rome’, an Early Baroque city whose architecture was influenced by Italian design: a city of art, faith and flamboyant culture. D0ue to the exquisite taste of the royal archbishops of that glorious time, today Salzburg is one of the most beautiful Baroque cities in what is one of the finest countries in Europe.

Krems und Stein, Wachau - Austria HD Travel Channel
Krems on the Danube impresses with its well-preserved old town, located directly on the banks of the Danube. The Pulverturm (magazine) is reminiscent of the Swedish sieges where Krems was hard-fought. The town is characterized by the surrounding vineyards, which also influence the cultural landscape of the town.
The Weinstadt Museum (City and Wine Museum), where cannonballs from the Swedish sieges still stuck in the walls, houses one of the oldest human sculpture, the 32,000 year old Venus of Galgenberg, discovered near the village of Stratzing. Only in 2006 it may be evidenced that it has already been made by Homo sapiens and not by Homo neanderthalensis who still lived at the same time. In the same year two infant graves were found here. One with twins, which were covered with the shoulder blade of a mammoth. The 27,000 years old grave is the oldest burial place in Austria.
The end of the pedestrian zone forms the well-restored gate, the Steiner Tor, the landmark of Krems.
The attraction in the summer is the apricot festival in the Wachau with its peak in Spitz. All kinds of products from apricots are offered. Apricot brandy, apricot jam, apricot stuffed pancakes and of course apricot dumplings. However, if you enjoy these delicacies frequently, do not be surprised about a few extra pounds on the scale after your holidays. You should not miss visiting the famous Heurigen, wine-taverns in which wine-growers serve the most recent year's wines. Some of them offer an excellent cuisine accompanied by fine wines. In the evening, one can let it the views of the Danube valley soak in.
The towns of Krems and Stein developed independently for a long time. Between the two towns lies Kloster Und, a former Capuchin Convent.
The old town of Stein has a special flair. It was here where the most famous Kremser artist Martin Johann Schmidt, called Kremser Schmidt, lived for decades. He was known for his folk baroque style. You can see at one of his altarpieces and the ceiling fresco in the parish church.
The town hall square is edged by the magnificent Renaissance building of the toll house and the Mazzettihaus, a baroque palace, the birthplace of Ludwig von Kochel. Ludwig von Kochel is a known Mozart scholar; the Köchel catalogue as named after him. Furthermore, you see the Passauerhof, which was already mentioned as a Tithe yard of the Bishop of Passau in 1263.

Krems an der Donau besticht durch seine gut erhaltene, direkt an der Donau gelegene Altstadt am Donauufer. Der Pulverturm erinnert an die Schwedenkriege, in denen Krems hart umkämpft wurde. Die Stadt wird geprägt von den umliegenden Weinbergen, die auch die Kulturlandschaft der Stadt beeinflussen.
Das Weinstadtmuseum, in dessen Mauern noch Kanonenkugeln aus den Schwedenkriegen stecken, beherbergt eine der ältesten menschlichen Plastik, die 32.000 Jahre alte Venus vom Galgenberg bei Stratzing. Erst 2006 konnte nachgewiesen werden, dass sie bereits vom Homo sapiens und nicht vom zeitgleich noch lebenden Homo neanderthalensis gefertigt wurde. Im selben Jahr wurden hier auch zwei Säuglingsgräber gefunden. Eines davon mit Zwillingen, die mit dem Schulterblatt eines Mammuts bedeckt waren. Das 27.000 Jahre alte Grab ist die älteste Grabstätte Österreichs.
Das Ende der Fußgängerzone bildet das gut restaurierte Steinertor, das Wahrzeichen von Krems.
Die Attraktion im Sommer ist das Marillenfest in der Wachau mit seinem Höhepunkt in Spitz an der Donau. Alle Arten von Produkten aus Marillen werden angeboten.
Marillenschnaps, Marillenmarmelade, Marillenpalatschinken und natürlich Marillenknödel. Allerdings sollte man sich bei häufigem Genuss dieser Köstlichkeit nach dem Urlaub nicht über ein paar Pfunde mehr auf der Waage wundern. Beim Heurigen, der neben erlesenem Wein, oft eine Edelküche anbietet, kann man in den Abendstunden den Ausblick auf das Donautal auf sich wirken lassen.
Krems und Stein waren lange Zeit zwei Städte, die sich unabhängig voneinander entwickelten. Zwischen beiden liegt das Und-Kloster.
Ein besonderes Flair bietet die Altstadt von Stein. Hier lebte jahrzehntelang der berühmteste Kremser Künstler Martin Johann Schmidt, genannt Kremser Schmidt, der durch seinen volkstümlichen Barockstil bekannt wurde. Eines seiner Altarbilder und das Deckenfresko kann man sich in der Pfarrkirche ansehen. Den Rathausplatz säumen der prächtige Renaissancebau des Mauthauses, das Mazzettihaus, ein Barockpalais, Geburtsstätte Ludwigs von Köchel, bekannter Mozartforscher, nach dem das Köchelverzeichnis benannt wurde und der Passauerhof, der schon 1263 als Zehnthof des Passauer Bischofs erwähnt wurde.

SOLO BACKPACKING EUROPE | Vienna, Austria (2018)
I quit my job to solo backpack around Europe for two months. I realized that there is more to life than working 40+ hours a week and the best way to grow and learn is to experience it through travel.
My tenth stop brought me to Vienna, Austria from December 18- December 23. I had heard so many wonderful things about Vienna so it was a must do on my backpacking trip. This city is filled with beautiful sights and the best Christmas markets!
