09:30 Library and Vineyard Tour
Full day tour, return at 20:00. Lunch is included.
On a tour from Vienna to the outstanding wine growing area Wachau you will have the opportunity to visit the Baroque State Hall of the Austrian National Library, which is considered one of the most beautiful halls in the world, and the modern public library in Vienna. In Melk we will visit the marvellous Melk Abbey Library that played an important role in Umberto Eco´s “The name of the rose”. An afternoon in the vineyard will mark the completion of what we hope will have been a very rewarding conference.
