St. Leopold Bridge, Melk

Highlight • Bridge

From the bridge, or just before it, you have a very beautiful view of Melk Abbey. The historic building sits magnificently and imposingly on the rock. A magnificent sight.

The view of Melk Abbey is an impressive experience that highlights both the historical and architectural significance of this baroque jewel. Melk Abbey, a Benedictine monastery, towers majestically above the Danube and is a landmark of the Wachau region.

View of the Melk dam and power plant

Highlight • Monument

Sometimes it's good to look back, because the view of the barrage is fantastic. The Melk power station is a run-of-river power station on the Danube in the immediate vicinity …

View of Melk Abbey from the Danube cycle path

Highlight • Viewpoint

It is a wonderful impression that you get when you drive along the Danube valley and first glimpses of the Benedictine monastery Melk are free. Since the monastery complex is on a mountain, it is wonderful to see.
