View of Dürnstein

Highlight • Viewpoint

From here you have a great view over the Danube to Dürnstein, easy to recognize by the blue tower of the collegiate church. The ruin Dürnstein towers over the town.

St. Lorenz Ferry Terminal

Highlight • Rest Area

The ferry “rolls” along wire ropes stretched above it.
From the opposite bank it is sometimes difficult to see whether the ferry is even there.
It sometimes takes a while for it to set.
Just a little patience.
