The monastery is freely accessible and you can see the impressive abbey church.
Since the monastery is inhabited by monks, other interiors can only be visited on a guided tour of the monastery museum.

In the monastery there is also the monastery restaurant, which offers warm cuisine continuously from 10 a.m.

The monastery is located above the town Neresheim in Ostalbkreis on the Ulrichsberg in a dominant position above the Härtsfeld.

The Abbey of Neresheim (St. Ulrich and Afra) is a Benedictine monastery in the Diocese of Rottenburg-Stuttgart in Baden-Württemberg and a member of the Beuron Congregation. Her church, a late work of Balthasar Neumann and honored by Georg Dehio as "staggeringly grand", is considered one of the most important church buildings of the late Baroque period.

The abbey is definitely worth a visit, we usually start from the Maria Buch pilgrimage chapel and walk from there to the abbey. You can either linger there or explore other hiking trails nearby.
