Day 11 Melk and Dürnstein

A beautiful day in Austria! Day 11 of our European cruises, we are visiting Melk & Dürnstein. We had lunch then went to visit the abbey at Melk. This magnificent Benedictine monastery is 900-year-old! It features Austria’s finest Italian baroque architecture. Our ship then cruised through the spectacular Wachau Valley and the ship stopped at Dürnstein. We had dinner on the ship and headed out to explore this new city. We saw the Kuenringer Castle and OF COURSE sampled some local wines from some of the local vintages. The region is well known its wine.
