The beginning of spring in the Wachau

During the spring awakening of the Wachau, the blossoms of the apricot trees bloom in fragrant pink and white. The Eurohike team has summarized why a hike in spring in the Danube area is particularly worthwhile.

• Reason 1: Because a walk on the Marillenweg and through the apricot gardens in Rossatz is simply indescribably beautiful. Four kilometres long and with information boards along the way, which give you an insite into the annual cycle of the apricot, you hike through the cultivation area.

• Reason 2: Because you don’t always need the alps or rugged mountain peaks to crown the end of a hike. The hiking trails meander through vineyards, past ruins and cultural treasures through the region. If you look down onto the Wachau from above, the Danube loop and the picturesque villages make the Lower Austrian landscape enchanting.
• Reason 3: Because you can taste the best while wines in Austria in the Wachau. Whether Riesling, Grüner Veltliner, Sauvignon Blanc or a blended wine: the list is long. Winegrowers, wine taverns and cellar lanes lure with sparkling grape juice in a freshly polished wine glass.
