Wallsee Castle

• Wallsee Castle In Wallsee, you might want to take the time to visit the 14 th -century Wallsee Castle, still in the possession of the Habsburgs. Past the tiny village of Ardagger, you ride under the mighty Fortress Clam. You explore the fertile farmland of the Danube Valley, with rural towns and picturesque farms. Grein with its imposing castle soon comes into view which for many is one of the highlights of the trip. With only 2,800 residents, Grein is one of Austria's smallest towns. Due to its strategic location above rapids on the Danube, the city became quite rich during the 16th and 17th centuries, and the wealth is still evident in the elaborate houses built around the town square.
