Spitz on the Danube

Highlight • Settlement

Spitz an der Donau is one of the most picturesque villages in the Wachau and an absolute must for any visitor to the region. It is located directly on the Danube and is surrounded by terraced vineyards. A worthwhile destination for a tour. You can linger here for a while, there is a lot to discover! A very beautiful, tranquil place with some sights.

The narrow alleys and old houses in Renaissance and Baroque style convey a journey back in time to the Middle Ages. The noteworthy town hall square is a central meeting point with charming pubs and shops. Hinterhaus Castle ruin, a medieval castle ruin, towers above the village and offers spectacular views of the Wachau.

Spitz is idyllically situated between the Danube and the famous vineyards of the Wachau, offering one of the most beautiful backdrops in the region. The village is perfectly suited as a destination or stopover for a bike tour. The place combines nature, history, and enjoyment in a unique way.

It starts at half past seven because the day promises to be a hot one.
In the morning it's quite pleasant, cloudy and 23° and it's going great again. Of course I get lost again because I don't really trust Komoot anymore, but the additional km are completely flat.
From Krems the Danube gets narrower and mountains/hills can be seen …

Today the 5th and last stage 🚴 ♂️.
This time the section of the route was very varied, I couldn't take that many pictures, then I would still be on the road 🚴‍♂️😅😂.
Vineyards, romantic forest sections, interplay between sun and shade, monastery, winding streets, but also "ghetto" quarters 😔....
The best came just before the finish 😎
I've been …
