Knechtsteden Abbey

Highlight • Religious Site

The monastery is home to the Norbertgymnasium NGK, a Catholic school where prayers are still held in the morning. Both Christian denominations are taught here. Outside the monastery walls there is the Klosterhof pub, where the infamous Knechtstedener Schwarzbier is served. The monastery also hosts concerts, which are very popular.

Knechtsteden Monastery

Highlight • Religious Site

Absolutely worth a visit, the way there is well signposted from all directions.
In the courtyard of the facility there is a toilet and the opportunity to strengthen yourself with snacks.

Cycle Path from Zons to the Dike

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Easy to drive dirt roads to Zons or for those who want to go to the dam.
The dam itself is then quite lumpy.
