The “Uttobrunner Staffel”, also known as the “Dumpling Staircase” because of its steep, calorie-guzzling ascent, is the beginning of the ancient pilgrimage route from the Metten Monastery to its nearby founding place Uttobrunn.

The old pilgrimage route "Uttobrunner Staffel with Stations of the Cross in Metten" was blessed after several years of restoration by Bishop Rudolf Voderholzer in March 2021 (had already been planned for 2020).

Opposite the monastery in Metten is the "Fontanella" ice cream parlor. It is worth taking a break to enjoy the very good ice cream in the monastery garden.
