Melk

Tucked into the hills along the Rhine River, Melk is home to a quaint community as well as the old-standing home of Benedictine Monks (living here in the Benediktinerkloser).

Outside the one school is the board of events (and will do given a lack of city limits signs, eh?). The cobblestone and pavement streets are narrow in places, wider in others, but cute all around. As it's Sunday, the square is less busy than I'd otherwise expect; a small street market is behind me.

Atop the hill is the castle-like Benediktinerkloser, a centuries-long home to a group of monks. Within the walls here is one of the courtyards and fountains. The church itself used upwards of 40 kilograms (88 pounds) of gold when they decorated the interior.
