Krems an der Donau
Built around a Danube-side trading settlement, Krems an der Donau grew into a regional centre for wine, culture and education in Lower Austria. The town stands at the eastern end of the Wachau, the Danube valley inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List for its cultural landscape. Its compact old quarters run into Stein an der Donau, long associated with river trade and winegrowing; vineyards rise on the slopes above the river. The contemporary Landesgalerie Niederösterreich, devoted to art from the region, adds a modern civic landmark to the waterfront. Across the Danube lies Mautern, while wooded hills and cultivated terraces frame a city where the river remains central to daily life.

Tucked along the Danube at the eastern end of the Wachau, Krems an der Donau is a city whose character is shaped by the river and the vineyards of the Kremstal wine region. Its historic core incorporates the former independent town of Stein, where narrow streets, merchant houses and churches recall centuries of Danube trade. The medieval Gozzoburg is a notable secular monument, while the Kunstmeile Krems links cultural institutions between Krems and Stein. Grüner Veltliner and Riesling are central to local wine culture, and the Wachau Cultural Landscape is a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Lower Austria is best known within Austria for the Wachau, the UNESCO World Heritage cultural landscape along the Danube. Austria’s largest federal state extends from the Bohemian Massif in the north to the limestone Alps around Rax and Schneeberg in the south, with vineyards, forests and agricultural districts between them. St. Pölten is the provincial capital, while Melk Abbey rises above the Danube as one of the country’s foremost Baroque monuments. Vienna is a separate federal state, though it is enclosed by Lower Austria. Explore nearby webcam locations that provide complementary perspectives on the Wachau and Lower Austria.

Austria stretches from the Bohemian Massif along its northern edge to the Carnic Alps on the Italian border, encompassing high Alpine ranges and the Danube lowlands. The Danube links cities including Linz and Vienna, while the Grossglockner, at 3,798 metres, is the country’s highest mountain. Vienna developed for centuries as the seat of the Habsburg court, leaving imperial architecture around the Hofburg and Schönbrunn Palace. Salzburg is closely associated with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who was born there in 1756. Alpine Tyrol, wine-growing areas east of Vienna and the lakes of Salzkammergut add markedly different regional identities.
