On a lead; at the abbey, only in the restaurant, the corridors and the courtyard

If you arrive by train, the abbey is earned on foot: from Furth/Göttweig station a 2.8 km path with about 200 metres of ascent climbs through woods and vineyards to the monastery gate. Allow an hour for an easy climb. At the top you have the museum, the church and the restaurant terrace to recover your strength. Dogs, on a lead, can enter the restaurant and the courtyard, but not the museum.
