Wachau-Nibelungengau-Krems Valley ("Krems Valley" in German)
Ybbs an der Donau, the gateway between Strudengau and Nibelungengau, impresses with its unique location. The picturesque old town, with its newly redesigned Danube promenade, offers direct access to the Danube and invites visitors to linger. A wide range of cultural and sporting activities, museums, and traditional festivals, as well as connections to various hiking and biking trails, round out the tourism offerings. Excellent transportation links make Ybbs a popular starting point for excursions to the Wachau, the Mariazell Alpine foothills, the Mostviertel, the Waldviertel, and the Mühlviertel, all the way to the capital, Vienna.
For more information about the town, visit http://www.ybbs.gv.at.
