I know, I know. We all love the Rhine Gorge for the magnificent castles that stand high up on its deep banks and the legend of the Lorelei, a beautiful maiden who threw herself in the river over a faithless lover and turned into a siren whose singing lured sailors to their deaths.
But what if I told you I’ve found an even better river valley to fall in love with, one where rabbits, apricots, wine and plenty of castles all play a part. Welcome to the Danube and Austria’s Wachau Valley. Situated between Melk and Krems, and 36 kilometres in length, it’s easy to enjoy this great spot on a river cruise.
