Gasthof Goldenes Schiff
A house with history — and a place for you.
In the heart of the Wachau World Heritage region, between vine terraces and apricot orchards, we run the Goldenes Schiff with heart. The lady of the house still cooks in person, the wine comes from our neighbour, and in the evening everyone sits together over a glass.
