Mautern
an der Donau.

Mautern is a historic town on the south bank of the Danube, directly across from Krems and Stein. The town sits on the site of the Roman fort Favianis, with archaeological remains still visible. Mautern's strategic Danube position made it important throughout history, controlling river crossings and trade routes. Today, the town maintains charming character with traditional architecture and wine culture, producing quality Kremstal wines from surrounding vineyards. The riverside promenade offers beautiful views across to Krems and the Wachau Valley. Mautern combines Roman heritage, Danube location, and wine tradition, creating a quieter alternative to busier Krems while being perfectly positioned for valley exploration.
