The city
Dürnstein features the blue tower of its abbey and castle ruins on the Danube slope. The small center fits into a walk, but the climb to the Burgruine requires time and effort. The town is part of the Wachau and can be visited from Krems.

The ruins of Dürnstein Castle sit above the town on a rocky slope. Preserved walls and openings frame the Danube and the Wachau vineyards.
