    A magical place! Quote: "As if its builders wanted to be a little closer to heaven: Melk Abbey is the most magnificent building in the Wachau region. Everything here is splendid, and everything strives upwards. And below flows the Danube."

    That sums it up perfectly. An imposing, magnificent structure, built in a prominent location. A visit is a must when you're in the region. Highly recommended; the experience will stay with you.
