The vineyards on the mountains went on for what seemed like miles and miles. Every once in a while we would see someone out checking on them up high on the side of the hill. They literally covered the mountains in the region.

The Wachau Valley
The Wachau Valley is where most of the grapes are grown in Eastern Europe. I am used to seeing flat sandy land, or gently rolling hills with vineyards. So when I saw these vineyards that were practically straight up and down, I was amazed. Each level is terraced with rocks to hold it up. It is hard to see teh rock walls in these pictures, but each level is held up by a rock wall.
