A bus ride from Spitz, through the Wachau Valley, takes us to quaint city of Krems an der Donau.
The Wachau Valley is known for its rolling hills, vineyards and fortresses.
Richard the Lionheart was imprisoned in the castle above the town of Dürnstein.
Highlights of nearby Gottweig Abbey include its lavish baroque church and views across the valley.
Also nearby, Melk Abbey is a vast monastery also with an opulent baroque church.
