    The forest educational trail begins south of the monastery grounds along the Johannisbächli stream and leads into the monastery forest. Numerous panels provide information about the forest as a protective and recreational area for humans, as a source of wood, and as a habitat for animals and plants. Along the way, there are three well-equipped barbecue spots. The path is mainly in the monastery forest, only the beginning of the educational trail lies outside the forest.

    Author’s recommendation

    Take part in a monastery tour. Visit the monastery church and the cloister library, which is not open to the public, and get to know the church and the life of the monks a little better.
