The city of Dürnstein and the ruin of the medieval castle are one of the most prominent sightseeing points in the Wachau, made famous in part by being the place of imprisonment for Richard I of England.

Weissenkirchen in Der Wachau
Weißenkirchen is supposedly home to the Riesling vines, a wine typical to the region of the Wachau valley.
Wehrkirche St. Michael
The church is one of the oldest in upper Austria, dating back to the early 10th century. With its still functioning organ it´s a well used spot for concerts and weddings.

Spitz
Located in the heart of the Wachau valley the town offers attractions such as the late gothic three aisled church from the 15th century and is an excellent starting point for hikes and excursions in the region.
The castle ruin, 300m above the right bank of the danube, dates back to the start of the 12th century. Infamous for its escape-proof prison, the "Rosengärtlein", the ruin is a favourite among the visitors to the danube valley.
Emmersdorf an der Donau
With its historical center and amazing view of Melk Abbey, this picturesque town is worth passing through for the view alone.
This Benedectine Abbey and UESCO heritage site is the highlight of every Wachau trip.
