Spitz and Weissenkirchen

Two of the Wachau's best-known wine villages, a few kilometres apart in the heart of the valley. Weissenkirchen gathers round its tall fortified church on the hillside; Spitz sits beneath a vineyard hill of its own. Ships stop here occasionally, usually for a wine tasting or a walk among the vines.
