Maps and trails
One of the best-known attractions in Monstab is the church of St. Marien, which dates back to 1280 and has an impressive Gothic architectural style. Monstab Castle with its baroque garden as well as the historic market square are also definitely worth seeing.

If you are interested in culture, you should not miss the annual Altenburg Jazz Festival or visit the Posterstein Castle Museum, which has an extensive collection on the history of the Thuringian region.

Culinary Monstab also has some special features to offer: Here, for example, you can enjoy the famous Thuringian bratwurst or try regional specialities such as onion tart or potato soup.

For outdoor activities, the nearby nature park "Thüringer Schiefergebirge/Obere Saale" is particularly suitable, where you can go hiking or cycling - depending on the season, skiing or ice skating are also possible. Those who prefer to be active on the water will find numerous opportunities for canoeing and fishing on the river Pleiße.

Even when it rains, there are plenty of entertainment options in Monstab: For example, those interested in art can spend their time at the Unser Lieben Frauen Monastery art museum in Magdeburg or at the Leipzig Museum of Fine Arts.

However, the most beautiful thing to do in Monstab is undoubtedly on a sunny day, sitting in the market square and watching the hustle and bustle or strolling through the picturesque alleys. All in all, Monstab offers a wide range of activities for tourists and is thus definitely worth a visit!
