Through the Moraine Landscape One destination of this hike is the archabbey of the Missionary Benedictines St. Ottilien. Already in the 14th century, there was a pilgrimage of regional significance to Saint Ottilia in the then hamlet of Emming. The monastery was founded in 1887 by the Beuron monk Andreas Amrhein, who acquired the former manor castle with some properties for his monastic community. It was elevated to an abbey in 1902 and to an archabbey in 1914. After being dissolved by the National Socialists and serving as a military hospital and infirmary, it is now the largest men's monastery in Germany and a mission center for Africa, Asia, and America. Additionally, the in-house EOS publishing house is located here.
