Day 3 – Grein and Durnstein, Austria
In true Austrian style, the Rococo theater in Grein, built in 1793, was originally constructed to provide a bit of entertainment for travelers passing through. Nestled in the heart of the charming old town, this theater has been remarkably well preserved and is now housed in the wooden auditorium of the town hall. It’s a must-see attraction. Additionally, there’s Greinburg Castle, which features the Maritime Museum—a perfect place to explore the history of shipping on the Danube.
Dürnstein is famous for its beautiful blue and white abbey tower, the medieval city walls, delicious white wines and sweet apricots. For our active guests we recommend the hike up to the castle ruins overlooking the river.
Day 4 – Linz, Austria
Austria’s third largest city and famous for its baroque styled Main Square, beautiful old town center, great shopping, the Schloss Museum and the Mariendom which can hold 20.000 worshippers.

The city sits at the confluence of three rivers and had therefore military importance. The fortress Veste Oberhaus now houses the museum and the Dom features a great organ.
