 Melk monastery and paintings
by Paul Trooger by globetrott
Melk is mainly known for it's wonderful monastery with paintings by Paul Trooger, a great church interior, the marble hall and the library.
Melk may easily be reached by train on the main-track from Salzburg to Vienna ( but better check, wether your train will also stop there!)
You will also pass by Melk when driving on the highway Salzburg-Linz-Vienna, and you will see the monastery well in advance, as it is a rather oversized building in the landscape !
Melk is also one of the main ports for cruises on the Danube.

No mentioning of wine and Niederösterreich on VT is complete without the most famous wine producer on VT, Manfred Edelmann from Göttlesbrunn, VT-member MEdelmann. I tasted his wines at his place. Manfred is even running a Gasthaus which offers the perfect opportunity to sleep after the wine tasting there and to continue driving next day. See his website for all that. Leave a Comment

 Duernstein by FRONA
Why not sit down in the shade of an old tree in a restaurant garden or in one of the cosy Heurigen wine taverns and enjoy world-class wines from our local vintners? Apart from culinary delights, Dürnstein also offers plenty of opportunities both for cultural and sports activities and is the ideal starting point for your tour of the Wachau.

Carnuntum was the capital of the Roman province Upper Panonia and was home to about 50,000 inhabitants at the time of its heyday. The impressing witnesses of this fascinating metropolis find a revival in the Archaeological Park Carnuntum, about 40km from Vienna
Carnuntum is rich in Roman remains, including an amphitheatre, roman palace and most famously the 'Heidentor'. This former four pillar building which was over 20 metres high is supposed to have been erected under Emperor Constantin II (337-361) as a victory monument. Today the two remaining massive pillars connected by an archway have become the characteristic symbol of the Petronell-Carnuntum area.
Admission fees are Euro 8 for adults and free for children below 14 years old

It may happen that the connection of "Cellar" and "Niederösterreich" rises unpleasant associations nowadays. But I do not want to write here about these two world-infamous cellars in Amstetten and Strasshof.
There are innumerable cellars in Lower Austria with extremely pleasant contents - great wines. A part of them is completely underground and as usual for cellars you dont see them from the surface. But in many wine growing areas they are only partly in the loess or other ground where it is easy to dig them. You see from outside alleys of small houses with a front side showing an entrance door, windows and a roof while the bigger part behind this front is dug into the hill behind it. This hill often consists of loess or other material in which it is easy to dig.
These houses are not the places where the vintner live and often in quite a distance from the wine villages themselves. Behind the entrance door are rooms containing some tools essential to make wine, like the press etc. and - very important - the area where the vintners taste the wines. Behind and below all that is the cellar with an ideal climate for the wine.
It is clear that the vintners are not always there and when they are there they have to work. But on certain occasions they open the cellars to sell the wine or to arrange wine tastings. sometimes even a "Kellergassenfest" is organized and all cellars are open so you may go from one to the other to taste - and buy the wines.
