Itinerary
- Day 1
Krems
You'll arrive in Krems and settle into your hotel, getting yourself oriented before the hiking begins. This is your chance to walk around town, grab a meal, and adjust to the area. The Danube Valley spreads out around you, and you're based right at the edge of wine country. Take the afternoon to rest up and prepare for the trails ahead.

Krems
The real adventure starts with a hike up through the vineyards where you'll reach a tower offering views across the blue Danube, back toward Krems, and up to Göttweig Monastery sitting on the hillside. From there, you'll make your way across the hills to Fesslhütte, which is small and cozy, then follow a scenic route that takes you to the Dürnstein ruins. The ruins sit right above the river, giving you that dramatic overlook of the water below.

You'll ferry across from Dürnstein to Rossatz, then hike through what turns out to be Austria's largest apricot growing area. The old tracks wind through the orchards before climbing to Seekopf where the Alpine views open up. If you want more, there's an optional walk along the Danube through more orchards that loops back to the ferry, or you can call it here and head back to your base.

Spitz to Krems
The boat carries you back from Spitz to Krems for your return journey.

It's a relaxing way to end the trip, watching the valley pass by from the water.
