In between visits to the sauna, steam room or infra-red cabin, relaxing in our peaceful rooms in Wachau is also the perfect answer to improving your personal well-being. Our unique positioning between the grape vines, is the ideal balm to soothe your soul.

Get comfortable and let your thougts wander.

Gentler and easier to enjoy: a spell in the steam room is ideal for our guests who can't cope so well with heat, but still want to do something good for their bodies after a strenuous day. Steam rooms are particularly regenerating for the skin and respiratory tract. They promote blood circulation, reduce stress and release muscle tension. The perfect end to an active day.

Whether improving your health, for its soothing effect on the respiratory tract or to stop the symptoms of a cold, the physical benefits of a trip to the sauna are many and varied.

A Finnish sauna involves intense high temperatures combined with low humidity. The surface of the skin heats up diring in the sauna, between three and ten degrees, and the internal body temperature also increases. The body reacts to this by activating its immune cells.

Noises, light and scents trigger experiences and emotions. A range of spray techniques and changing water temperature prompt changing, new impulses on the skin as well as gentle, relaxing massage. Our sensory showers offer the widest range of shower variants and stimuli.

Some of the best white wines in the world stem from this narrow valley on the Danube river, between Melk and Krems, on some 1350 hectares - some spread on steep terraced vineyards, with decades of potential.

Groups of 20 or more can take a closer look at Wachau wines in our Arkadenhof, getting a taste for taste traditions that go back centuries.

A picturesque courtyard, historical parlours with an old wine press and stylish wine cellar vaults - our Dependance Arkadenhof is the perfect place for your family celebration, wedding or gathering. But holding a business appointment here, whether it's a conferenc, meeting or seminar, means it's also likely to be a moment that remains in our memory.

We're pleased to help with your request, either in person or on the phone.

The best way to start a great day is with a full stomach, after a balanced breakfast.

For our hotel guests, we serve a sumptous buffet breakfast with Wachau specialities in the Stammhaus of the Hotel-Restaurant Kirchenwirt. Home-made apricot jam, Wachau rolls, fruit, muesli, and a variety of cold cuts and cheese will make sure you start the day properly.

The picturesque abbey courtyard, an Augustine exhibition with a meditation path and a ceiling fresco by "Kremser Schmidt": This is the baroque Dürnstein abbey, widely regarded as the symbol of our region, with its distinctive bell tower. You can also visit the cloister and the crypt as part of a tour.

In the immediate vicinity lie the Dürnstein ruins, where Richard the Lionheart was held captive once upon a time. Those who tackle the peak, accessible all year round, are rewarded with magnificent panoramic views.

Nestled into the changing landscapes with changing outlooks, the golf courses around the Danube offer variety for both beginners and experienced players.

Palatial scale and excitingly designed museum rooms await visitors of the world-famous abbey, which has been continuously inhabited by Benedictine monks up until the present day.

The Emperor’s Staircase and imperial rooms, Marble Hall and Library, an unforgettable view from the balcony over the Danube valley, the high Baroque collegiate church with precious frescoes, paintings or the more-than-250-years-old Abbey park, Melk Abbey is a one of the best excursions in the area.

Our top tip? The Danube Cycle Path, one of the most beautifulbike paths in Europe , honoured with the ADFC quality bicycle route seal of approval.

The highest apricot gardens of the Wachau valley combined with baroque splendour. This is what you’ll find in the impressive Benedictine Göttweig monastery, a spiritual centre in the heart of Lower Austria.

The monumental Emperor’s Steps with a ceiling fresco by Paul Trogers is considered among the most beautiful and baroque staircases in Europe. There are similar art collections in the neighbouring princes and imperial rooms.

At a height of 233 metres, the lower Austrian National Shrine to our Lady of Sorrows offers a majestic view over the Danube valley and the hilly landscape of the hills of the Mostviertel region, right to the Alps.

The oak tree with the religious icon (Maria Taferl) was also planted at the construction of the pilgrimage church in 1660. Inside the basilica, there is also a treasure chamber with frescoes, that depict the appearances of the original stories as well as miraculous hearings and deliverances.
