Wachauer Advent Dürnstein

The Wachauer Advent Dürnstein transforms the baroque old town, the imposing abbey and the blue Donau into an atmospheric Christmas landscape. As a special highlight there is a unique floating Advent market on a festively lit ship 🚢.

Additional market areas are located in the abbey courtyard, in the courtyard of Hotel Schloss Dürnstein and along a Christmas path – creating variety while you stroll.

At the market you will find high-quality handicrafts, regional specialties and atmospheric music – ideal for browsing and for gift ideas.

On weekends the over-400-year-old wine cellar of Burg Dürnstein is open – there you can find fine Wachau wines as well as traditional dishes like Riesling-Beuscherl and vegetarian lentil curry 🎄.
