Wine TastingHiking
Rossatz-Arnsdorf consists of two villages on the northern bank of the Danube in the heart of the Wachau Valley, offering spectacular views across to Dürnstein and the southern vineyards. The steep terraced vineyards produce exceptional Wachau wines, particularly Riesling and Grüner Veltliner. Local wineries, from traditional family estates to modern operations, welcome visitors for tastings with panoramic valley vistas. The villages maintain authentic Wachau character with traditional architecture and wine culture. Hiking trails through terraced vineyards offer both stunning scenery and insight into the demanding work of Wachau viticulture. The combination of UNESCO World Heritage landscape, quality wines, and peaceful atmosphere makes Rossatz-Arnsdorf a gem of the Wachau.
