The charming family business is embedded in the hotel's own vineyards and orchards and vegetable gardens in the middle of the beautiful Wachau.
Dürnstein with the famous ruins and the monastery can be reached after approx. 900m. The Wachau was declared a UNESCO World Cultural and Natural Heritage Site in 2000. The Melk and Göttweig monasteries as well as the old town of Krems are among the cultural highlights of the region. The best way to explore the Wachau is by bike and enjoy the picturesque landscape along the Danube on one of the numerous cycle paths. On a leisurely boat trip, the most comfortable way to travel around the Wachau, you can experience the entire beauty of the region from the water. The Welterbesteig Wachau is a 180km long-distance hiking trail and leads along the most beautiful hiking trails through the Danube valley and the Wachau wine landscape.
