Aidenbach is known for the Peasants' War of 1706, the last stand of rebelling Bavarian peasants against the Habsburg imperial occupation. Today, the small town is a worthwhile stop for some memorable photos of the market square and a visit to one of its restaurants. www.aidenbach.de

The Aldersbach monastery and especially the church are particularly worth seeing! A visit to the Bräustüberl is a must!

Information board about the 🥒 cucumber harvest: The cucumber and its plane. I think this work is one of the hardest jobs we have. The workers who harvest the cucumbers deserve absolute respect!

Around 1120, an Augustinian canons' monastery was founded in Aldersbach; just 26 years later, Cistercians from the Ebrach monastery took it over and consecrated the monastery to Saint Mary, Mother of God. In 1803 it was nationalized. Today's complex includes the church with the parish area, a brewery with a restaurant and an educational facility with seminar rooms. You can spend the night in the former monks' cells. Events such as concerts take place regularly in the Aldersbach Monastery. http://www.kloster-aldersbach.de/
