The fortified church in Weissenkirchen towers over the picturesque alleys with old winegrowers' and townhouses. Romance and beauty make the place a special experience.
Surrounded by the foothills of the Waldviertel high plateau and the Dunkelsteinerwald, the market town nestles in the Danube landscape.
With 500 hectares of vineyards, it is also the center of Wachau winegrowing and Lower Austrian wine culture.
Here you can take a leisurely walk through the vineyards and explore the winegrowing villages by bike.
A rolling ferry (crossing) takes you by car or bike to the other bank of the Danube.
There are very nice hotels, rooms and private apartments and of course wine taverns.

Wonderful city with historical charm. The best thing to do is stroll through the streets and enjoy. We also liked what was on offer at the Hick nursery!

A stop in Weißkirchen in der Wachau is always worthwhile: stroll through the pretty old town, take a look at the parish church or make yourself comfortable on the banks of the Danube. The place is surrounded by romantic vineyards, so you shouldn't miss a taste of the local wine.
