Hornbach Abbey

Highlight • Religious Site

The history of the Hornbach monastery dates back to the 8th century. You can walk through the cloister, recharge your batteries in the chapel or take a break in the monastery garden. Today there is a hotel and restaurant in the complex. When the weather is nice, you can fortify yourself in the beer garden before or after your hike. More information about the monastery can be found here: kloster-hornbach.de.

Here you can see water buffalos on a large area. Here you should take your time to observe ... it's worth it!
