Emmersdorf an der Donau

Spend half a day in Emmersdorf: explore the museum, walk the Danube banks and have a quick lunch, then move on.

Emmersdorf is a small market town on the Danube in the Wachau valley. Its sights cluster near the river and can be visited in a few hours. Use it as a stop on a Wachau day‑trip from Krems or Melk.
