メルク周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

文化に関心のある旅行者には、ほとんどの場合STIFT MELKとして知られ、二人の使徒の君主の保護下にあるベネディクト会修道院「Abbatia SS. App. Petri et Pauli apud Melk」が予期せず現れることはありません。それは宗教的な意味で重要なだけでなく、ユネスコによって特別な称号「世界遺産」で称えられたヴァッハウ文化景観の不可欠な一部でもあります。「世界の宝物 – 人類の遺産」テレビシリーズの一環として制作されたドキュメンタリーは次のように報じています。「ヴァッハウのランドマークであり、この景観の演出そのものであるメルク修道院。メルク修道院複合体の中心は図書館で、85,000冊の書籍と1200点の写本があり、世界最大級です。それはベネディクト会のイデオロギー上の本拠地です。ここには、西洋精神の基盤と呼べるものがすべて保管されています。」ユネスコから「世界遺産」の称号を授与されたこのハイライトに関する15分間の番組は、ARDのメディアライブラリで次のリンクからご覧いただけます =>> https://www.ardmediathek.de/video/schaetze-der-welt/die-wachau-oesterreich-folge-282/swr/Y3JpZDovL3N3ci5kZS82ODcyNjk0

The bridge over the Danube near Emmersdorf an der Donau connects the town of Emmersdorf on the north bank with Melk on the south bank and is an important section for cyclists along the Danube Cycle Path. The bridge is part of the main road and features a separate, well-secured pedestrian and cycle path, allowing for safe crossing of the Danube. From the bridge, there is an impressive view of the Danube river landscape – particularly popular with cyclists traveling between the Wachau and the Nibelungengau regions. The route is well signposted in both directions, towards Klein-Pöchlarn/Ybbs and Spitz/Krems. Thanks to its direct connection to the Danube Cycle Path, the bridge is a key crossing point between the northern and southern sections of the Wachau and facilitates crossing to the other side of the river on a scenic stretch of the route.

It is the most important pilgrimage site in Lower Austria and the second largest in Austria after Mariazell. The basilica is an impressive early Baroque building with a striking twin-tower facade.

Melk's town square forms the historic and vibrant center of the town. Surrounded by well-preserved house facades, cafés, and shops, it invites you to stroll and linger. Particularly striking is its proximity to Melk Abbey, which towers high above the square. As the town's central meeting place, the square regularly serves as the setting for markets, festivals, and cultural events, while also providing an ideal starting point for exploring the town and its surroundings.

A lot of money has been invested in cyclist safety here. The construction of the cycle path under the road bridge over the Pielach River has eliminated an accident hotspot. Years ago, road crossings were required here. However, caution is advised; the road is confusing, and the center line is there for a reason! A little further toward Melk, another underpass was built, eliminating a bottleneck and diverting cyclists from the next road junction.
