Drawing Wachau

Artists discovered the beauty of the Wachau as early as the 19th century and depicted it in drawings and paintings. With the Wachau Routes project, we are taking up the culture of artistic engagement with the Wachau. Art and landscape meet. Students from the University of Arts Linz together with students of Landscape Architecture at BOKU University drew in Spitz at the beginning of June. The focus was on the railway. The narrow railway line, which runs through the town in elevated position, and the wide surroundings of the railway station form a contrast in terms of space. Both situations provided interesting motifs for the drawings. Photos and short videos were taken during the trip on the Wachau railway. The numerous drawings are valuable contributions to the multi-perspective image of the Wachau transport landscape.
