The more than 1,250-year-old Benedictine monastery Benediktbeuern, located on the edge of the Loisach-Kochelsee moor in the middle of the Bavarian Alpine foothills, combines tradition and progress, spiritual life and prayer as well as culture and nature in a special way.

The Salesians Don Boscos have been working here since 1930, a Catholic religious community that works for young people worldwide in the spirit of its founder Johannes Bosco (1815-1888).

The Benediktbeuern Monastery is now a spiritual center with great charisma in the region, which unites numerous institutions of theoretical and practical work with young people under one roof - a unique ensemble of youth and educational institutions, in which the preservation of creation plays an important role , The baroque complex annually attracts many people interested in art and culture from near and far. In the area of the monastery there are numerous visits and tours.

Natural history tours of the Center for Environment and Culture, medicinal herb tours, the discovery of the meditation garden or the various adventure biotopes offer a variety of natural experiences.
