[[File:Wachaubahn in Weingärten c Knipserl.JPG|450px|right|Wachaubahn in the wine yards]]

== Ferry boat and train ride on the Wachaubahn==

Arriving with your bus from the west (airport of Munich or Salzburg):
Having left A1–Highway at exit Melk in the direction of Krems, you reach the village of Arnsdorf.
* Crossing the river Danube by a '''rope ferry''' from Arnsdorf to Spitz an der Donau
(a little boat trip, lasting about 10 minutes)

* At the station of Spitz, you take the Wachaubahn railway to Krems an der Donau
Departure from Spitz: 15:13 or 18:13
