Understand

The Wachau region is renowned for its breathtaking vineyards and picturesque scenery. Thanks to the pannonian climate influence, the climate here is milder compared to other parts of Lower Austria, creating ideal conditions for vineyards, apricot trees, and even almond trees to thrive. Make sure to visit the charming Heurigen, traditional wine-taverns, where local winemakers proudly serve their homemade wine alongside delectable cold food. Keep an eye out for the small straw wheel placed in front of their house, a sign that their Heurigen is open. Don't miss the opportunity to embark on a boat trip on the Danube River, a truly unforgettable experience that showcases the beauty of the Wachau region from a unique perspective.
