Located between Melk and Krems, Wachau Valley has truly earned its status as the most scenic area of Europe. Almost each curve of the Danube River opens amazing landscapes, numerous historical and cultural monuments – catholic abbeys and castles built up on the hills by warriors-bandits. The tour through Wachau Valley will enable you to touch the centuries-long history of Austria and the culture of medieval and contemporary Austrians. Benedictine Melk Abbey – one of the oldest abbeys in Europe will fascinate you. This monastery has been the spirit of the country for more than thousand years and now the abbey church with its enormous dome and towers stands proud on a rocky cliff over the Danube River welcoming its visitors.
The highlight of the tour will be your visit to Český Krumlov – a medieval paradise. You will immerse in the splendor of the 16th-century town above idyll Vlatva river. Let yourself be overwhelmed by the monumental chateau, stroll down the majestic garden combining elements of English parks and French royal gardens, and lose yourself among the gorgeous burghers´ houses whose uniqueness contributed to the inclusion of the town among the UNESCO sites.
