<p>Relaxed and enjoyable long-distance hiking in the UNESCO World Heritage Wachau: The Wachau World Heritage Trail connects a unique cultural and natural landscape with rich history and regional culinary delights over its 180 kilometers between Melk and Krems. Culture and landscape influence each other; rare natural habitats like dry grasslands and dry stone walls as well as the originally preserved towns and settlements are tangible signs of a long settlement history.</p><p>Nowhere else can the Danube be hiked more beautifully than on the 14 stages of the Wachau World Heritage Trail.</p><p>But the Wachau offers not only an impressive natural backdrop but also culinary specialties.
