Sitting on a hill, perched high above the Danube River is Melk Abbey. This Baroque version of the abbey was completed in 1736 and is well worth a visit. A school, monastery, church, and historic library fill its walls. Below the Abbey, is the little village of Melk, where the locals go about their business in an easy-going manner, except when the cruise boats come to port and drop off two hundred tourists at a time. Nearby, the Danube River meanders through the Wachau Valley, loaded with castles, vineyards, and charming villages. Join David as he shares his experiences in this beautiful section of Austria.
