The themed route Kloster Eußerthal runs around the Cistercian church. Along the way, various signs provide information about life and everyday life in the monastery.
The path begins at the Cistercian church in Eußerthal. From there, follow the information boards into the church garden and then return to the church entrance. From there, turn right and follow Kirchstraße. This meets the main street at the local heritage association, which you then follow on the left. Along the main street, keep right until you reach Haingeraidestraße. Cross it straight ahead to the next information sign. Facing the main street, follow Haingeraidestraße to the right until you turn left again onto the main street. Then keep immediately left to follow Klostergasse. At the next intersection, turn right again and follow Klosterweg back to Kirchstraße to the monastery church.

Author’s recommendation
The monastery church is open daily from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
The route is also suitable for strollers, as the path is short, fairly flat, and fully paved.
Dining options in the village.
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.

Roadbook
The path starts at the Cistercian church in Eußerthal. Opposite the church, all stations are displayed on a sign. The first three information boards are arranged in a triangle directly in front of the church. On the way into the church garden, you pass three more signs. Follow the paved path through the church garden to reach the former pastor's house.
Then walk back to the starting point and follow Kirchstraße, passing two more information boards, to the main street. There you will see the next sign directly to the left. On the main street, keep right and pass two more signs before reaching Haingeraidestraße. Cross straight ahead to the next sign. Afterwards, facing the main street, follow Haingeraidestraße to the left.
On the way, you pass the restaurant Klosterstüb'l before turning left onto the main street again. After the next information board, turn left onto Klostergasse to find the last information board around the corner on the left. Now continue straight along Klostergasse to reach the starting point—the Cistercian church—by turning right again.
