The Kremlin of Upper SwabiaIn 1126, the Premonstratensian Imperial Abbey of Mönchsrot was founded. In recent years, the monastery complex, whose towers resemble the Kremlin in Moscow, has been restored in a manner respectful of its historical significance. On the edge of town stands the cemetery church of St. Johann, featuring remarkable ceiling paintings and the high altar. The hike leads mostly through forest from Rot to the Roter Weiher, the most beautiful of the large ponds in the area. It was created when the monks of the monastery dammed the Laubach to meet their fish needs. Today, the pond, nestled among fir forests, serves as a breeding ground for rare waterfowl. The path then returns to the Rot valley and follows the river back to the starting point.

I'm not much of a hiker, but I'd like to complete the 1,000 km challenge on Outdooractive in 2023 (so far I've only ever managed around 500 km a year). I want to hike a total distance of 1,100 km, which is approximately from my hometown of Weiler to Cuxhafen. The idea is to slim down massively in the process. That would be my dream project for 2023.
