Melk Abbey & Dürnstein

Saturday a bunch of us girls went to Melk Abbey & Dürnstein an hour or so outside of Vienna.

Melk Abbey is a former monastary that now houses a much smaller 
monastary, a school, a library, of course the church, and a museum.


There were also gardens with paths to walk.



Dürnstein is a small town with a castle at the top. I chose not to climb the hill, but the girls that went said it was cool. Instead we wandered around the town and ended up in a cafe. Surprised?




As always an enjoyable day traveling with friends.

This picture reminded me of our area, the "D" hill with vines growing. I bet it is much more green and lush there.
