The route, with moderate climbs, leads directly through the vineyards. The Danube flows some distance from the cycle path in this section, a little further down in the valley. A magnificent sight, with very, very beautiful scenery. 👌

For me, one of the most beautiful, if not the most beautiful, sections of this route through the Wachau. 🚴🏻‍♂️👌 A region with a rich and fascinating history. Simply a great tour, a relaxed bike ride while taking in the beautiful views and amazing perspectives. Highly recommended!

Dürnstein Abbey

Highlight • Religious Site

The history of Dürnstein Abbey
In 1372 a chapel was built in Dürnstein dedicated to the Mother of God Mary, St. Andrew, St. Lawrence and all the saints. The widow Elisabeth von Kuenring donated her property for this purpose. In 1410, her heir Otto von Maissau founded a monastery near this chapel and had Augustinian canons brought from Wittingau in Bohemia (today Třeboň in the Czech Republic) to Dürnstein. The canons built the church, cloister and monastery in the 15th century. The layout of the medieval monastery building also remained decisive for the Baroque renovation.
In the late 17th century, the provosts, as the heads of the monastery are called by the Augustinian canons, had the complex renovated in the Baroque style for the first time, but stuck to the Gothic structure. When Hieronymus Bösebacher was elected provost in 1710, the church and monastery were, according to his own statements, in poor condition. He first had the canons' living area renovated with the convent building. Afterwards, the restoration of the church, cloister and tower began and the south wing with the large church portal was completely rebuilt. The irregular abbey courtyard was also closed into a representative square during this time.
