Droß

Dross, an idyllic community in the southern Waldviertel, is nestled between rolling hills, wide fields and peaceful forests. Just a few kilometres from the historic wine town of Krems, Dross offers relaxation in rural tranquillity and at the same time proximity to the cultural highlights of the Wachau. The charming village impresses with its well-kept houses, friendly hospitality and lively club life.

Nature lovers and active holidaymakers will find ideal conditions for hiking, cycling or Nordic walking. Well signposted paths lead through the varied landscape, past shrines, old vineyards and small wooded areas. The Kremstalweg trail, which leads through the region and offers impressive views, is particularly attractive.

Dross also has a lot to tell historically: The parish church of St Leonhard and old mills bear witness to the long history of settlement. Regional festivals, such as the annual Kirtagsfest, bring tradition to life.

In the cosy inns, visitors can enjoy down-to-earth Waldviertel cuisine and fine wines from the nearby Wachau region. Anyone looking for peace, nature and authentic country life will find a place to linger, relax and discover in Dross - right in the heart of the Waldviertel.
