The Abbey dominates the town of Melk

The view of the town from the Abbey

There was an organ concert in the Abbey's church on the day of our visit

We traveled up to the Abbey by bus

We walked back down to the town and I ran back to the ship with a few extra loops just for exercise.

Last year's flood has earned a place among those of the past

Many areas of the interior of the Abbey are now off limits to photography
This was not the case on our last visit in 2008
Those pictures are HERE
