Over
Korte feiten: The abbey church houses one of the largest baroque organs in Germany, with over 3,000 pipes filling the space with thunderous sound. Benedictine monks have inhabited this hillside monastery for over 900 years, brewing beer and tending to their alpine gardens.
Hoogtepunten: Step into the church and look up: the ceiling frescoes play a visual trick, making the flat surface look like a towering dome reaching into the heavens. During summer concerts, the organ's lowest 32-foot pipes vibrate through the stone floor, a sensation you feel in your ribs as much as hear.
Insidertips
- Arrive by 9:30 AM to experience the organ rehearsal before the crowds arrive.
- Skip the gift shop inside and buy monastery beer at the Klosterladen down the hill for better prices.
- Wear sturdy shoes: the climb from the train station up to the abbey is steep cobblestone.
- The cloister garden is the best photo spot, especially in late afternoon when light filters through the arches.
