MELK - the WACHAU - KREMS

Wednesday July 6, 2016 - Our next stop was Melk, Austria, where were toured the beautiful Melk Abbey. The abbey was built between 1702 and 1736 on the site of a palace presented by Leopold II of Badenberg to Benedictine monks. Photography was allowed throughout the abbey except in the library which houses over 80 thousand rare manuscripts. Reboarding the Baldur, we cruised the Danube through the scenic Wachau Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage Site noted for its numerous castles overlooking the valley and ships cruising by. Passengers were invited to the top deck to observe the passing scenery with narration by the Program Director. On the other end of the Wachau was Krems, an old city with several interesting cathedrals and a fascinating old town.
