Durnstein Attractions

 
After Weissenkirchen the Danube describes an arc to the right and then reaches Dürnstein, the "Pearl of the Wachau" (220m/722ft; pop. 1,100), the most popular tourist attraction in the Wachau. The little town is enclosed within a triangle of walls and towers, the walls winding up to the ruined castle 150m/490ft above the town. The Augustinian monastery, founded in 1410 and dissolved in 1788, is a masterpiece of Baroque architecture.

Opposite lies the pleasant little market town of Rossatz.
