In short: The apricot trees of the Wachau usually blossom in late March or April, for one to two weeks depending on the weather. There is no fixed date, so check the regional blossom updates shortly before you travel.
The prettiest spots
The orchards are densest around Spitz, Joching, Weissenkirchen and Dürnstein. The Wachau apricot is an EU protected designation of origin, made into jam, brandy and dumplings. The Wachau between Krems and Melk has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2000.
