    Beautiful vantage point with wonderful views and great perspectives. The tower still serves one of its original purposes today, namely to have a good and wide view of the Danube valley.

    The "fortified church of St. Michael" is the oldest church in the Wachau. The church was fortified as a precautionary measure against the advancing Turkish armies. Well worth seeing, not to be missed, right on the bike path. Can be visited for free.

    A round staircase takes you outside and you can enjoy a wonderful view from the tower.
