May 10, 2025, Covered Wooden Bridge over the Kocher

Fine craftsmanship on today's scale… adapted to the past

Situated on a hill, up the Bildersteig, a monastery complex awaits you, parts of which can only be visited with a guide

Covered wooden bridge over the Kocher from which you also have a good view of the Großcomburg monastery.

What is different about the Großcomburg cloister? On the one hand, it is on the “wrong side”: the southern flank of the church would be usual. However, the terrain on the Großcomburg was such that the cloister had to be attached to the west end of the church. The ground on the long sides of the church would have sloped too steeply. Also a rare case: one of the four wings led like a tunnel under the Romanesque tower. It disappeared when the church was rebuilt in Baroque style - until it was excavated in the 20th century.
