Apricot Blossom 2025 in the Wachau Approaches
The apricot blossom in the Wachau is imminent. In the coming days, more and more buds will open. The full bloom is expected to depend on the temperature for the coming weekend, the association "Wachauer Marille g. U." announced on its website on Monday. The development can also be observed via webcams.
Start of Wachau Apricot Blossom
The Wachau apricot blossom usually begins in the Krems area and then continues upstream on the north and south banks of the Danube through the Wachau to Aggsbach Markt and the Spitzer Graben. The timing also depends on the variety. The first white-pink buds of the over 100,000 apricot trees have already opened. The bloom can last between ten days and three weeks, depending on location and temperature.
Spring Ticket at Discounted Prices
Until April 27, the municipalities of the region and the Lower Austrian Transport Organization Ltd. (NÖVOG) are offering a spring ticket for the Wachaubahn, ferries, and Wachau buses at discounted prices for the first time. The ticket is valid for one day on a Saturday, Sunday, or public holiday. For adults, the ticket costs 14 euros, and for children, seven euros. The B33 on the south bank of the Wachau has been continuously passable by car or bike since March 14, following the rockfall in June 2024 in Schönbühel-Aggsbach (Melk district).
