    There are great cakes in the cafeteria and rather cheap - and I was the only guest there, while the restaurant in the monestary was crowded by busloads of people who obviously were not interested in paying the extra-charge for the "Garden"

    When you visit the monestary, you may choose between tickets with or without guided tour - and you may also include the visit to the "Garden" for about 1-2 Euro extra.

    There you will see a great baroque garden and this pavillion, with great paintings inside

    and these strange big figures in front of the pavillion had been part of an extra-exhibition - a bit strange in combination with the pavillion - but they will be gone after the summer 2002...

    It is a pity, that photography with flash and tripod are forbidden, and it was rather dark, while I took these pics

    all rooms of the pavillion are covered with fancy paintings that make you dream of exotic places

    and there is also a great self-service-restaurant

    in one of the side streets on the town-square of Melk you see the "alte Post" - it once was the place, where to post-horses were changed and travellers had the possibilty to get refreshments and maybe stay over night.
    The " Alte Post " is still a restaurant and hotel today and is mainly interesting because of it's great and interesting fassade.

    look at this unique fassade - the building looks a bit oversized, but as Melk was an important town for schools for so many centuries, and as horse-carriages had to take the mail from one town to the other, at some places the horses had to be changed...

    take a closer look at the wall-papers that actually cover all parts of the walls and are showing romantic scenes from far-away-places
