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
Arrival at Krems: 15:45 or 18:45
At Krems, your bus is awaiting the group.
The price of this standard program, including the ferry boat and the train ride, is € 11,00 / person (incl. 10% VAT)
If you add this program to your bus ride to Vienna, you have to estimate about 1½ hours for this “detour”.
Of course, the above program can be extended, for instance by a wine-tasting session and/or a guided tour to the monastery of Dürnstein…
