Welcome To Lower Austria
Lower Austria is the largest state in Austria, located in the northeastern part of the country. The state is known for its stunning landscapes, historic landmarks, and cultural offerings. Visitors can start their day with a traditional Austrian breakfast, which typically includes fresh bread, pastries, and coffee. The state is home to the Mostviertel region, which is famous for its production of pear and apple cider, as well as traditional culinary specialties.
The town of Duernstein, located in the Wachau region, is a popular destination for its picturesque setting on the banks of the Danube River, and the historic ruins of the Duernstein Castle.
The state is also home to the Weinviertel region, which is known for its production of wine, particularly the Gruener Veltliner grape. Visitors can explore the charming village of Weissenkirchen, which is located in the heart of the Wachau region, and is famous for its beautiful vineyards and swans that swim in the Danube River and in the many crystal clear lakes.
The Melk Abbey, a stunning Baroque abbey located on a hill overlooking the Danube River, is another must-visit destination.
Visitors can explore the abbey's many rooms, which feature beautiful frescoes and sculptures, and enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding countryside (undergoing renovation during our visit).
A must visit include the old ruins of Gutenstein castle, the Raimundvilla (now privately owned, but picturesque from a path in the woods) and the Myrafaelle in Muggendorf.
