Klosterneuburg
 |
Klosterneuburg is a quaint little town 10 km north of
Vienna set in the hills of the Vienna Woods. Its is most famous for
its Babenberg abbey and wine-growing. This excursion begins in Heiligenstadt, either with a 15-minute bus ride to Klosterneuburg or, if the weather is good, a 45-minute cycle tour along the Danube - past the famous "Lion's Bridge" designed by Jugendstil architect Otto Wagner. Once arrived in Klosterneuburg, you take a tour of the abbey - often likened to Schönbrunn Palace - and the church with the famous Verdun Altar. After these cultural impressions we move on to culinary ones - at one of the many "Heuriger" - a tavern where you can savour the wine of the region. You then return home in good spirits. The costs include admission to the abbey and the bus ride or bike hire. |
