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 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.
