    Hiking

    The legendary "Heidebrünnl" with its church in the Jeseníky Mountains in old Austrian Silesia was a popular destination for pilgrims, but it went up in flames in May 1946 after a lightning strike.
    Ernst Seifert from Kaisheim, who comes from the Jeseníky Mountains, rebuilt the "Heidebrünnl" true to the original in the middle of a forest teaching park on the outskirts of Kaisheim after a vow.


    The chapel is open on Sundays and public holidays between 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. and by appointment

    At the time of secularization, the former "Free Imperial Abbey Kaisersheim" owned 18 whole and 12 half villages, 12 schools and a total of 9537 subjects. The magnificent Imperial Hall is an expression of this power.
    In the foyer and adjoining rooms of the imperial hall of the former monastery building, the permanent exhibition “Behind Bars” describes the development of the penal system over the centuries.


    The entrance to the Kaisersaal and Museum is to the right of Gate II of the JVA Kaisheim. Guided tours are possible on request.
