Description
Goettweig Abbey (Benediktinerstift Goettweig) situated on the Goettweig Mountain, is - because of its location - sometimes called the Austrian Montecassino. The Monastery sits on a hill 449 m above sea level in the Dunkelsteiner Forest south oft the city of Krems, on the eastern edge of the world-famous Danube Valley called the Wachau.
With the Wachau, Goettweig was in 2001 placed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
The picture is taken from the other side of the Danube river.
