Great place for excursions of all kinds. Ideal environment for walks and bike rides. The monastery itself is also a good place to stay. Rooms clean, friendly atmosphere.

I went to this venerable monastery site by bike on the way to Billerbeck. Unexpectedly, the silhouette of the building appeared behind one of the hills of the tree mountains and attracted me almost magically. The monastery lay like a mirage in the afternoon sun. Strange. Time shifted. Exalted but not powerful. I then sat on the pedestal of an obelisk for a good hour and let my eyes wander. The tower bells struck five times, and later they rang to call for Vespers. A few monks and a few guests found their way to prayer. Time passed and an inner calm spread more and more. When is the right time for the return journey? What is hidden behind the walls? What is the purpose of the other buildings in the complex? It was clear to me, "I'll go there again!" When I got home, this desire was even stronger and I did some research on the internet. In the head the monastery tavern with its large parasols and the numerous guests, and above all this historic sandstone masonry. What can I say? Mail written, got a very nice reply back. The result is that I am going to walk a good 30 kilometers with my son, who will be 30 years old, and spend two nights in the facility. Maybe some of my questions will be answered afterwards, maybe they are no longer important ...

A beautiful monastery in a beautiful area. You can eat very well there. Westphalian cuisine at good prices. There is also a nice playground there.
