970 AT - Wachau Cultural Landscape (2000)

Brief Description

"The Wachau is a stretch of the Danube Valley between Melk and Krems, a landscape of high visual quality. It preserves in an intact and visible form many traces - in terms of architecture, (monasteries, castles, ruins), urban design, (towns and villages), and agricultural use, principally for the cultivation of vines - of its evolution since prehistoric times."

瓦豪文化景观

"瓦豪(Wachau)是多瑙河河谷的一个分支,地处梅尔克(Melk)和克雷姆斯(Krems)之间,风景秀丽,是极具吸 引力的观光胜地。这里完整地保存了该地区自史前时期演化至今仍然清晰可见的痕迹,包括建筑(修道院、城堡和遗址)、城市规划(城镇和乡村)以及主要用于葡 萄种植的农业设施。"
