Take a tour of Town of Dürnstein in Austria – part of the World’s Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats. Situated on the banks of the mighty Danube, Durnstein is a picture-perfect medieval town. It’s an entirely scenic location with the famous river and the surrounding hillsides. The whole town is fairly small, but delightful, and one of the region’s most popular places. Durnstein still maintains the appearance and character of an intimate 14th or 15th century town. The work on the baroque Durnstein Abbey started in 1710 where an older, 15th-century monastery was situated. The interior, and especially the altar, are very exquisite. Durnstein even has the ruins of a castle perched on the hill above it.
