Pretty ordinary lock, but (heading downstream) if you are on the deck or front of the boat as the lock gates open, there is a perfect view of Melk Abbey in the distance which is perfectly framed by the lock. Worth getting up early for on a cold winter morning!

Didn't actually stop there. Our cruise ship went through the locks there. Good locks!
As locks on the Danube go this one is fairly standard, impressive in capacity but straight forward. What makes it a bit special is the location at the beginning of the Wachau Valley, and the view across to Melk Abbey,
One of the most beautiful churches I've ever seen. They do not allow pictures inside.
The history here is incredible. Tour well worth it. Views are amazing. Don't understand why pictures aren't allowed in the chapel. The chapel picture I attached is from a book.
One of the best examples of insanely rich catholic, baroque buildings in Europe. Very impressive; built on a hilltop with view on the Danube river, lots of beautiful statues and art, decorated in gold and bronze. Nice and peacefull garden.
Very good demonstration for making Gingerbread Homes.
Wonderful experience not having seen it like this
