On the edge of Upper Austria - discover St. Nikola and nearby Waldhausen

The landing stage in the district of Sarmingstein closes the band of WGD landing stages on the Danube in Upper Austria. The main town of St. Nikola an der Donau is the last Upper Austrian municipality on the border with the province of Lower Austria. The old shipping market is located in the middle of the legendary Strudengau region and lives up to its name with the annual St. Nicholas visit by boat on 6 December and the St. Nicholas church in the village.

Marked forest and hiking trails, such as the Stillensteinklamm gorge, which has been awarded the Austrian Hiking Seal of Quality, invite you to go on extended hikes - past vantage points with magnificent views over the Danube valley, castles and ruins.

Just a few kilometers from St. Nikola is Waldhausen im Strudengau, an idyllic village that boasts the historic Waldhausen Abbey and a popular swimming lake. Waldhausen Abbey, a former Augustinian monastery dating back to the 12th century, impresses with its baroque monastery complex, a museum worth seeing and a beautiful abbey garden - ideal for relaxing walks and cultural discoveries.

The nearby Waldhausen bathing lake invites you to swim, sunbathe and linger on warm days. With a well-kept sunbathing lawn, children's playground and restaurants, the lake offers the best conditions for a relaxing outing.
