Furth bei Göttweig

Furth bei Göttweig is a small, tranquil village located just south of Krems, nestled at the base of the hill where Göttweig Abbey stands. The village itself is characterized by traditional Austrian houses, a small church, and a few local inns. Its main draw is the proximity to the magnificent Göttweig Abbey, a Benedictine monastery with stunning architecture, a museum, and panoramic views of the Danube and Wachau valley. Furth serves as a convenient starting point for hiking trails up to the abbey or along the Danube. The village's quiet atmosphere and easy access to Krems make it a good choice for travelers seeking a serene retreat while still being close to the region's attractions. Wine lovers will find a handful of Heurigen in the surrounding countryside.
