Pöchlarn, Krummnußbaum, Melk

On my way back, I also have time to visit Westbahn, this time the stretch to the west of St Pölten

Pöchlarn

Here, the old and new Westbahn are next to each other, so I can't miss any train. Last time I noticed that some of the freight took the new Westbahn through Tullnerfeld

Melk Abbey (German: Stift Melk) is a Benedictine abbey above the town of Melk, Lower Austria, on a rocky outcrop overlooking the Danube River, adjoining the Wachau valley, that belongs to the Austrian Congregation. The abbey contains the tomb of Saint Coloman of Stockerau and the remains of several members of the House of Babenberg. Today's Baroque abbey was built between 1702 and 1736 to designs by Jakob Prandtauer. (Wikipedia)
