Krems District

Krems(Land) District is an administrative area in Lower Austria that spreads along the Danube valley with a landscape of vineyards, forests, and towns. The territory includes many smaller communities and shows how agriculture, nature, and settlements share the same space.

The area grew around medieval settlements on the Danube, with Dürnstein becoming a notable place in European history. Trade routes crossing this river valley shaped how towns and villages developed over many centuries.

Wine production remains central to life in several towns here, shaping how people work the land and gather together seasonally. You can see this heritage in the vineyards that cover the hillsides and in the local gatherings that celebrate each harvest.

The area is easy to reach by car or train, with main roads and railway lines connecting different parts. Towns and villages throughout the district offer places to stay and eat if you plan to spend time exploring.

Grafenegg Castle here becomes an open-air music venue each summer, turning a historic building into a stage for classical performances. The setting and architecture create a memorable experience for those who attend.
