Of the old abbey site that was founded here 800 years ago, only the Poortgebouw, Koetshuis, and Pesthuis remain. The French Revolution decided the fate of the Cistercians. The ring moat was unable to stop these villains. Young people can now stay in a youth hostel at this location. The walk takes you along the beautiful English landscape park. A nice place to have something to eat.
