| In a magnificent position in Nachau, the gorge which
is the most picturesque section of the Danube, where
nature and art combine in perfect harmony, stands
Durnstein Castle. Built in Renissance style, it was
for centuries Starhenberg. In recent years the present
owners have converted it into a hotel of great style
catering for even the most fastidious guest.
The Nachau enjoys a mild, dry climate, which means not
only that Austria's most renowned white wines grow here,
but also that the restaurant terrace us a perfect place
for just sitting and enjoying - indeed, it has deseredly
acquired the reputation of being the most beautiful
terrace on the whole length of the Danube. The fine cui-
sine and the splendidly stocked cellar have made this
castle hotel a meeting - place for gourmets.
