First we visited the impressive monastery complex today and then we hiked through the beautiful nature between the Walkenried monastery ponds, which were created by the monks ages ago. We then went back on the exciting Höllstein cliff path through the magnificent gypsum karst landscape. The white gypsum chunks are clearly visible everywhere here, and characterize the image of the path, which leads directly along the edge of the cliff. We particularly liked this section of the tour.
