monastery bronnbach

This Cistercian monastery has wonderful views over the surrounding countryside as it's set high on a hill. The ascent via road is the best way to get there but there are countless steps up to the monastery from way below if you want to take the pilgrimage.The church is only small but worth a look and does have some nice photo opportunities. We had one of the handful (ie four) of remaining monks talk to us and he gave a short organ recital which was interesting. He seemed to do a lot of the work around the place including the cooking. He's the youngest monk - at 72yo!There is a restaurant/café, though, that caters for tourists. There is inside and outside seating available. The apple pie is to die for.There are some nice garden areas - only small - but worth a wander. And you will see the headstones of a number of the earlier monks.A nice sojourn if you have some spare time and like to see nice views of the countryside.
