As we traveled the Wachau Valley along Highway 1, we followed
the “yellow diamond” signs and paralleled the Donau River. In one small community next to the touristy, mostly
“pedestrian only” Dürnstein, we stoped at the tourist information office and found a great little Zimmer in
a very small little community nearby. Gästezimmer
Elfriede Schmelz. € 20 pro Person (€ 40 for both
of us) This place was so large, wonderful, relaxing we ended up staying an extra day and just “chilling out” in
the area. On one side was a small local church, and across the road was a vineyard of our host. The rooms were
large and very clean and nice. And just city block from our Zimmer was a small Weinstube, where we sat with the
locals and enjoyed their home grown wines, along with some local cheese and ham.
