Marienstatt Monastery

Highlight • Religious Site

The monastery is definitely worth a visit - not just because of the beer garden. ;-) The monastery garden, the monastery courtyard, the library and the church are always inspiring!

The confluence of the small and large nests is an idyllic resting place. If you feel like it, you can also splash around.

Beautiful spot for a rest and at the same time listen to the calming splashing of the water.

In the winter months you can see hundreds of noses standing on the bridge (yes, that's what the fish are really called!) Huddle together as winter quarters.

Hello to all daring people:
I tried it out myself on my tour on April 23, 2020 komoot.de/tour/174749121. I drove into the ford with momentum and of course splashed so badly into the water that I was lucky not to have hurt myself any further. There were only a few abrasions on the back of the hand and the left knee. Bicycle (e-bike) in the water, wet clothes and the attempt to get out of the water as quickly as possible failed again and again because of the slippery stones, covered with algae and smooth as soft soap. But somehow I managed it: on all fours and dragging the bike behind me was probably a picture of the gods. It's a shame there are no photos of it. However, repetition on my part is out of the question (in case anyone should come up with the idea of taking pictures of me in the water).
If you would like to take a look at the tour, you can do so using the following link: komoot.de/tour/174749121
I labeled the tour with:
"Why doesn't anyone tell me that it's better to drive the 🚴‍♀️ over the narrow bridges over the Nister and not through the ford?"

Have fun and good luck if any of you Komootlers really want to go on such an adventure again.
