From Dürnstein-Oberloiben, the bus leaves every hour for Krems or Melk. Dürnstein, a picturesque town in the Wachau, is rich in history and charm. Founded in the 11th century by the Kuenringers, Dürnstein achieved considerable prosperity and expansion in the 13th and 14th centuries thanks to the ransom for the captured English King Richard the Lionheart. Today, the town captivates with its impressive Dürnstein ruins, which tower high above the Danube, as well as its historic alleys and traditional wine taverns, which invite you to linger.
