A visit to the Wachau Valley is the perfect choice for nature lovers. The ideal way is to go first to Melk to see the abbey and from there across the valley to neighbouring Krems, enjoying the extraordinarily green scenery and picturesque villages on the way. UNESCO notes its well-preserved evolution in terms of architecture, referring to its monasteries and castles, and agriculture, mainly vine cultivation, dating back to prehistoric times.
