Spitz an der Donau is one of the most picturesque villages in the Wachau and an absolute must-see for every visitor to the region. It lies directly on the Danube and is surrounded by terraced vineyards. A worthwhile destination for a tour. You can easily linger here for a while; there's plenty to discover! A very beautiful, tranquil town with several sights.

The narrow streets and old Renaissance and Baroque houses take you back to the Middle Ages. The picturesque Town Hall Square is a central meeting place with charming restaurants and shops. The Hinterhaus Castle ruins, a medieval castle ruin, tower above the town and offer spectacular views of the Wachau.

Spitz is idyllically situated between the Danube and the famous Wachau vineyards, offering one of the region's most beautiful backdrops. The town is a perfect destination or stopover for a bike tour. The town combines nature, history, and enjoyment in a unique way.

You can recommend almost every place to stay and above all to enjoy the great local wines. I also liked Dürnstein very much.

Viticulture is definitely the economic driving force of the town of Spitz. The place is particularly worth visiting in autumn, where the Spitzer Weinherbst attracts visitors every year. For almost a whole month everything revolves around the fruity grape. Bottom up!
