St. Leopold Bridge, Melk
Highlight • Bridge
The listed "St. Leopold Bridge" in Melk was inaugurated on May 23, 1937. The steel truss lift bridge, a riveted construction, is unique in Austria and spans the Melk River over a length of 50 meters, has a deadweight of 123 tons, and does not require a single pillar. What makes the "St. Leopold Bridge" a "lift bridge" is the fact that it can be raised up to 3 meters above roadway level using four lifting devices, making it flood-proof. The bridge cost 190,000 schillings at the time.

Melk Abbey: Absolutely worth seeing, 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. Everything here is splendor, and everything strives upwards. And below flows the Danube." True, that probably sums it up. An imposing, magnificent building, built in a prominent location. A visit is a MUST when in the region. Highly recommended; the experience will remain with you forever.
