Beautiful abbey! It’s an absolute must visit. Take the tour of the abbey and the library. The guided tours are full of information and we did ours with kids and it was great. There’s so much to see for the kids that it doesn’t get boring. There’s plenty of parking and from there it’s a short walk to the abbey. There’s a hotel and enough restaurants for everyone’s taste and budget. There’s also a garden shop and an abbey shop with lots of art, books and trinkets. Like other reviews have said: it’s a bit touristy. However, the place is fairly large so when we went on a Sunday, it was packed but not unbearable. Plus there’s plenty of hiking around and a lake, so if it gets too much you can go take a break in nature.
A place of strength, faith, and love ✨ Truly breathtaking! A live organ concert here is an unforgettable experience. The powerful sound resonates through the space, sending shivers down your spine. I highly recommend taking a guided tour (be sure to book in advance). You’ll get to immerse yourself in the cathedral’s atmosphere, explore its stunning library, and learn more about its rich history and present-day significance.
A very beautiful church next to an awesome hiking area. Nice place to rest, relax and get some prayers in after a good long hike along the lake. Please follow the rules tho. There is a sign on the outside of the doors and many people ignore it.
During our visit to Rieden, we had the pleasure of visiting the church, which is conveniently located approximately fifteen minutes away. The entire place is exceptionally beautiful, and the monastery itself is quite impressive. Entry to the church is free, and the environment is very clean. Restrooms are readily available nearby. Additionally, there is a delightful garden center close to the monastery, offering a wide array of items.
Beautiful abbey, with free entrance. You can’t take pictures inside. The surroundings are gorgeous and so peaceful!… You can visit the greenhouse and also buy some local products, which look great. The parking nearby, by the lake, is also easy to find with Google Maps and it’s very cheap (1 euro and we stayed there for 1-1h30?). You can also take a hike around the lake, but at this time of the year (March) it is still very muddy and quiet. Apparently you can rent boats and do other activities during summer time. It’s a wonderful place and not far from Koblenz.
Great library, full of religious books, lots of them in Greek! And there is a good restaurant too
This is a tourist destination for a diverse audience. It was founded in 1093 and stands today as a beautiful cloister in a setting that is a combination of mountains and a lake carved by volcanic activity with farming and lots of locally produced goods. There is a 10km hike around the lake. I saw lots of fall colors, but it was clear that in summer there are lots of lake activities and in winter a Christmas Market. There is a Gärtnerei with many unique plants, a sculpture garden, an organic food market and a hotel. Free parking for motorcycles!
Beautiful building but inaccessible without a tour. Numerous souvenir shops with overpriced stuff. Extremely commercial. Huge letdown. Perhaps interesting if it's on your route to another place but we came especially for this monastery so we were disappointed.
