An unbelievable diversity of nature and culture in the densest of spaces - that is what makes the Wachau so magical. A trip on the Wachau Railway opens up this diversity in all its breadth and depth. A single synthesis of the arts, a garden of the senses that has always inspired artists and thinkers. A favourite meeting place for gourmets and connoisseurs from all over the world. The Wachau ranks high in the top league of international gourmet regions.

A little way off the main road, between ancient masonry, vineyards and flowering embankments, the Wachau has preserved its essence. This is the "territory" of the Wachau Railway. It has been running here for a good hundred years and today connects Krems with Emmersdorf opposite Melk. The artful routing in an elevated position offers great views of the beauty of the UNESCO World Heritage Site.
