Melk, Austria and Durnstein, Austria
... years, monks have continuously lived and worked within this abbey. The Danube river is much wider than the Main river. Docked in Durstein (German for dry stone of which the town was built on) this afternoon to the sun shining on the castle ruins on the mountainside--but don't let it fool you, cold bitter wind blowing which keep us on the boat instead of exploring the ...
