Neighborhood
About the neighborhood
We live in the beautiful Wachau, it is the landscape in and around the valley of the Danube between Melk and Krems an der Donau in Lower Austria, about 80 kilometers west of the federal capital Vienna. Known for their good wines and apricots, as well as for their beauty of the hills and vineyards, the remarkable ruins and castles and the Danube, which meanders through the region with so much tranquility and elegance.
The area is ideal for hiking, boating, horse-drawn carriage rides or bike tours - as well as experiencing the art and culture that are well represented here everywhere. In 2000 UNESCO declared the Wachau a World Heritage Site.
The Danube Cycle Path is one of the most beautiful cycle routes in Europe. The route from Donaueschingen in Germany to the Hungarian capital Budapest is around 1,200 kilometers long. Melk is located directly on the Danube Cycle Path.
We are right on the railway line and a direct train from Melk in Vienna takes you to the Westbahnhof in 50 minutes.
Nearest Airport: Wien

Unsere Tauschpartner waren sehr freundlich hilfsbereit und nett. Wir haben alles so vorgefunden, wie es beschrieben war. In dem Haus haben wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Wir können einen Tausch mit Fam. Urdl uneingeschränkt empfehlen.
We enjoyed our Chrismas week in winterwonderland Melk / Wachau. The house is very big and we enjoyed the cozy feeling of coming home after our winter adventures. Melk is well situated on the Danube river and has lots of cultural and natural highlights to enjoy, the Melk abbey is a must see. The train station is very close by enabling a comfortable trip to Vienna. The Urdl family is very welcoming and even lent us their winter equipment to enjoy outdoor activities such as skiing and skating. Everything was well communicated and arranged before and during the exchange. It was an exchange that we will remember!
sehr nette Familie, alles war wie beschrieben, toller Pool, liebe Haustiere. Wir waren sehr gerne dort.
We had a fabulous house exchange in Melk. The property is amazing and the pool was a luxury and bigger than the photo suggests. As a location we fell in love with Melk, which we didn't know much about before we arrived. The countryside around the river Danube is beautiful and perfect for cycling and swimming. We couldn't recommend a stay here highly enough!
