The Melk Abbey is perched on a hill above the town of Melk and the Danube river... a beautiful spot. The Abby is immaculate, beautifully decorated, and artfully designed to showcase a treasure-trove of fine art and sculpture. Not only is it creatively laid out to accommodate tourists, it is also a school (as you'll see in the photos below).
