The Wachau Valley in Austria refers to the 30-kilometer Danube River valley from Melk to Krems, which has been included in the list of UNESCO's World Cultural Heritage. The Danube flows slowly from west to east, along the way to the old castles and ancient small villages, nestled among rolling vineyards. The Wachau region is Austria's main wine region, with taverns and wine cellars on the banks of the Danube. The local specialties are bacon, ham and sausage platters placed on wooden boards. This is the best companion for wine.

The town of Melk in Melk, Austria
was originally the first castle in Austria with the exact history of the ruler Leopold I. When Leopold I was appointed by the Holy Roman Emperor as Austrian Minhou, Melk was the capital. It can be said that Austria also started from this. By 1089, the power of the Babenberg dynasty was growing, and the capital moved to Vienna. At that time, Austrian Minhou donated the castle that had lived in the Babenberg family for more than 100 years to the Catholic Benedictine Association. In the nearly a thousand years since then, it has been the place where the Benedictine monks lived and worked. Melk became the center of the region and became the spiritual and cultural center of Austria.

The monastery in the town of Melk is a group of yellow and white buildings on the outer wall. It is said that the Queen of Maria Teresia likes this yellow, so many palaces in Austria are such "tresia yellow". The architecture of the monastery is baroque and magnificent, and is known as the masterpiece of Baroque architecture.
The interior of the monastery is splendid, and many details are amazing. The most memorable ones are the luxurious churches and the heavy library. The library can't take pictures as usual. So I have the opportunity to see it myself.

The most beautiful part of the town of Merke
on the Danube is of course the Austrian Wachau Valley. As mentioned in the previous article, the Wachau Valley is one of my three favorite places in Austria.
The starting point of the Wachau Valley is the town of Melk, a medieval town worth visiting. The most famous town in the town is the Melk Abbey standing on the rock, no matter where it is. In which corner of the gram, you can see this golden monastery overlooking the Danube and the entire town.

Austria, Melk
Melk is an important stop for the Austrian Danube travel, the beautiful Wachau Valley is the beginning of this charming town.
The town is famous for its Melk Abbey. This "world's most beautiful monastery" has a goose-yellow-out wall, baroque style, and its library has a pink interior, which is so grand. Still comparable to any library in the world.
Tips
The library does not allow photographs inside. Many gorgeous content can only be supplemented by the brain. However, the appearance here is very worthwhile. Whether it is a pink corridor or a goose-yellow outer wall, the girl who came here can't resist it.
There are a lot of shops in the town to buy vintage, carefully shop here, and find a lot of interesting things.
Stayed here for a while and secretly said that the towns ice cream is delicious.

It may be strange to mention the town of Melk, but you must have heard of the Melk Abbey here. It was built in 1702-1736 and has a history of more than a thousand years. It is now included in the list of world cultural heritages, and visitors come to visit every day.
The magnificent and majestic Melk Abbey stands on a rock overlooking the entire town of Melk and the Danube. The monastery not only has beautiful murals, but also numerous medieval manuscripts, because it is very famous and of great academic value. The walls of the monastery are pink. I wonder if the original builder also had a girl heart?
Stepping out of the monastery, you will arrive at the town of Melk, the starting point of the Wachau Valley, a world cultural heritage. The scenery is beautiful and the trees are decorated with beautiful buildings that decorate the town like a pearl embedded in the Danube. . When I came to the town, the blue sky and white clouds were red and green, and the lifestyle that I enjoyed under the beautiful scenery made me envious. We found in the town that we walked along the path to the pier and passed an iron bridge, the best place to take a panoramic view of the Melk Abbey. Therefore, interested friends should not miss it.
