It flows through 10 Central and Eastern European countries, including Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, etc. It is the river that flows through the most countries in the world. The Wachau Valley is a section of the Danube Valley from Melk to Krems in Austria, with a total length of 30 kilometers. The area has complete historical traces from prehistoric times to the present, and has many historical ancient cities and monasteries. Among them, the ancient town of Dürnstein is where the Austrian Duke Leopold V imprisoned the King of England, Richard the Lionheart. The area is also an important wine-producing area in Austria, with a large number of grape plantations. In 2000, the area was listed on the World Heritage List.<img src="https://ak-d.tripcdn.com/images/350g10000000pk2ki2191_C_364_206.jpg" source="ttd" imageid="2246733" sourcewidth="364" sourcehight="206"> <img src="https://ak-d.tripcdn.com/images/350b10000000pljvt418B_C_364_206.jpg" source="ttd" imageid="2246336" sourcewidth="364" sourcehight="206">Melk Abbey (Stift Melk) is a Benedictine monastery located on a rock in the town of Melk, Lower Austria, Austria, overlooking the Danube and adjacent to the Wachau Valley. Melk Abbey was founded in 1089. The Baroque building was built between 1702 and 1736, with exquisite murals, and the library contains countless medieval manuscripts. Due to its reputation and academic value, when Joseph II disbanded a large number of Austrian monasteries between 1780 and 1790, Melk Abbey was spared and escaped the destruction of the Napoleonic Wars. In 1938, when Germany and Austria merged, most of the school and the monastery were nationalized by the Nazis. In 2000, it was listed as a World Cultural Heritage along with the entire Wachau Valley.<img src="https://ak-d.tripcdn.com/images/350s10000000pqeez3733_C_364_206.jpg" source="ttd" imageid="2247328" sourcewidth="364" sourcehight="206"> <img src="https://ak-d.tripcdn.com/images/350t10000000pj7mxC896_C_364_206.jpg" source="ttd" imageid="2246335" sourcewidth="364" sourcehight="206">
