On the Outskirts of Upper Austria – Discover St. Nikola and Nearby Waldhausen
The boat landing in the Sarmingstein district completes the chain of WGD landing sites along the Danube region in Upper Austria. The main town of St. Nikola an der Donau is the last Upper Austrian municipality on the border with the state of Lower Austria. The old boatmen’s market lies in the heart of the legendary Strudengau region and lives up to its name with the annual visit of St. Nicholas on December 6 by boat, as well as the St. Nicholas Church in town.

Marked forest and hiking trails, such as the Stillensteinklamm—which has been awarded the Austrian Hiking Seal of Quality—invite visitors to take long hikes, passing viewpoints with magnificent views of the Danube Valley, castles, and ruins.

Just a few kilometers from St. Nikola lies Waldhausen im Strudengau, an idyllic village that boasts the historic Waldhausen Abbey and a popular swimming lake. Waldhausen Abbey, a former 12th-century Augustinian canons’ monastery, impresses with its Baroque monastery complex, a museum well worth visiting, and a beautiful abbey garden—ideal for leisurely strolls and cultural exploration.

On warm days, the nearby Waldhausen swimming lake invites you to swim, sunbathe, and linger. With a well-maintained sunbathing area, a children’s playground, and dining options, the lake offers the perfect setting for a relaxing outing.
