Marienstatt Monastery

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!

May 22, 2025,Nister Radweg 2....von Hachenburg nach Wissen

Part 2 of the Nister Cycle Path...relatively short but a truly highly recommended tour in a stunning landscape.
Very pleasant to ride on an e-bike...some climbs...not too strenuous.
Travel by train to Hachenburg...be sure to visit the old town there...continue...follow the signs (track is unfortunately inaccurate here...)...about 5km to Marienstatt Monastery...very worthwhile, and then through a stunning landscape to Wissen …
