Cultural Tourism and Wachau Visitors
The district of Melk is primarily known for two things: the Wachau wine-growing region and the Benedictine monastery of Melk Abbey.
The region's showpiece, Melk Abbey, is an absolute must-see for every visitor to the region. The unique baroque masterpiece is unrivalled and offers seasonal events, a permanent exhibition and religious occasions to visit the church.
As the most important wine-growing region for Grüner Veltliner, the Wachau attracts thousands of tourists and guests from all over the world every year. Places such as Spitz an der Donau, Weißenkirchen in der Wachau and Aggstein attract visitors with their traditional wine taverns, historic squares, castles and fortresses.
Enough to-dos for excursions and a programme for several days.
