From Prague we drove south again and finished our time in Austria by visiting the towns of Melk and Graz.
Melk is renowned for it’s Abbey – founded in 1089 and described as one of the world’s most famous and significant monastic sites. We had a guided tour which was lead by a devout Catholic – he was incredibly passionate about the Abbey. Also fascinating was the Abbey’s library which had an amazing collection of medieval books and manuscripts.
From there we continued further south and spent a day in the town of Graz. It was a Sunday and the place was almost totally empty and closed, but it was still gorgeous. It also had a really cool and trippy double-spiral staircase.
