This leisurely one-hour walk allows you to discover the town and its history at 7 of the 23 stops along barrier-free paths.
Dürnstein, situated at the foot of the steeply sloping castle rock on the Danube, is one of the most important urban ensembles in Lower Austria with its well-preserved medieval wall ring. The old Kuenringer town, where tradition and beauty meet in a unique way, is an unmissable destination on the banks of the Danube. During your stay, enjoy Wachau wines in a cozy wine tavern or in the shady garden of a restaurant.
