Maritime Museum

Small museum on Danube shipping and traditional river boats in Spitz.

The Maritime Museum in Spitz explains the Danube as a working river, with exhibits on boatbuilding, river traffic, and the wooden craft that moved people and goods before modern transport changed the valley.

It is a modest museum, but it fits the place well. The Wachau is often seen as scenery from a boat; this shows the river as labour, trade, and skill.
