Area information

Situated on a rock high above the Danube in the picturesque village of Dürnstein, which is famous for hosting King Richard the Lionheart in the 12th century, the castle is one of the most photographed buildings in Austria. The surrounding area invites you to taste Austria’s best wines, to ride your bike along the Danube, to hike in the hills or to visit one of the castles and museums in the region. Naturally, the Wachau can also be discovered from a boat. The Danube and its beaches are a popular recreation area. The proximity to Vienna gives you many opportunities even in bad weather. Dürnstein is also an ideal stopover on the way between Salzburg and Vienna.
