Mautern an der Donau
Krems an der Donau stands where the Krems River meets the Danube in Lower Austria, a position that made it a trading town and a focal point of the Wachau wine region. The city marks the eastern end of the Wachau, the Danube valley inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List for its cultural landscape of vineyards, settlements and monuments. Vineyards climb the slopes above the compact old town, while the broad river separates Krems from the wooded hills of the northern bank. Krems is particularly associated with Grüner Veltliner and Riesling, and its historic centre preserves streets and squares shaped by medieval growth. The Kunstmeile Krems brings together cultural institutions including Kunsthalle Krems and Karikaturmuseum Krems, adding a contemporary art dimension to this Danube town.

Mautern an der Donau combines a compact historic centre with the broad Danube corridor in a way that reflects its position opposite Krems at the eastern end of the Wachau. The town developed from the Roman settlement of Favianis, and archaeological remains recall its place on the frontier along the river. Vineyards on the surrounding slopes connect Mautern to Lower Austria’s long wine-growing tradition, while the Danube bridge and riverside routes make Krems part of the immediate setting. The Wachau cultural landscape, shaped by vineyards, orchards and river settlements, is recognised by UNESCO.

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.
